Best effect ever! Before I bought this it was hard for me to get the attention of my audience. I literally had no effect that gave the amount of surprise as Thread. Ever since I learned this I leave a spool of Thread in the middle of the stage before my show. I walk on silent and I can already tell that people are wondering what am I going to do with the thread. The method is great. I prefer the non-sleight of hand version because it looks so real. The only downside to this is that your eye is going to be sore after a few performances. Other than that it's a great effect and it always gets a good reaction.
California • Dec 9th, 2017I bought this trick for my son. He loves it. Very well done.
Lowell, Massachusetts • May 24th, 2017This is a great effect that gets the best reactions. For people who don't think it is safe, I did it about 5 times yesterday and the only bad thing that had happened is my eye is sore and a bit red.
Glendora • Mar 29th, 2017The method seems crazy at first glance, but once you try it out you see that it's perfectly safe.
Los Angeles, California • Nov 13th, 2016Great effect that will get great reactions! The video has great detail and Wayne offers lots of performance tips. You can't go wrong with any of his effects so buy this now!
Florida • Aug 28th, 2016The effect: It is a very clever and fantastic effect. It takes practice to get comfortable with for sure, but the outcome is amazing. Both methods are great! Bit to mention the classic gypsy thread is also amazing. The teaching: Wayne, as usual, leaves nothing behind. He goes over everything very good, and the quality of the video is over the top. He really cares about what he puts out! I can go on and on but you are just going to have to add to cart and find out yourself! Thanks Wayne, and thanks to theory11!
California • May 27th, 2016Wayne Houchin is a genius! Although the trick is uncomfortable at first, you do get used to it with practice. Love this trick and I plan on performing it for my school.
California • Apr 19th, 2016This is by far one of the funniest and weirdest trick to perform! Totally worth the price! :)
Macamic, Quebec • Mar 20th, 2016Beautifully shot video with high production value. Well taught and amazing to watch; this is an amazing piece of magic. Get it now! WH, keep 'em coming!
New Mexico • Dec 13th, 2015There's a lot more to this video than just the trick. Wayne goes into a good deal of detail when it comes to the more theory and performance side of magic, talking about why he does certain things, his character and a good few little stories behind the effect. Not a lot of performers go into these details so I was very pleased to learn more than just the effect. Both methods are amazing, yet simple. I hadn't had the chance to try them out yet because i'm wanting to have everything 100% safe then I will more the gladly freak people out with this amazing effect.
UK • Nov 23rd, 2015This is one of my favourite tricks to perform whether it's up close or stage magic it always gets a great reaction. A must buy for sure.
Ireland • Oct 21st, 2015This is an amazing effect. The download teaches two methods, which is good. However, when you first start performing this effect, you are going to have pain in your eye. This does NOT damage your eye in any way. It took me a few performances to get used to it. The set up is also easy to do, however, you may need to practice. The first time I used this effect in front of an audience, the reaction was absolutely phenomenal. GENIUS METHODS GENIUS EFFECT Highly recommended.
Saint Petersburg, Florida • May 25th, 2015This is an amazing effect and it looks so real. This is a must-buy!
Washington • May 9th, 2015I love this trick - it just scared the the living hell out of my friends. My friends think I'm actually threading my eye cavity.
Queensland • Feb 15th, 2015Great! Fantastic! WH is not only a fantastic magician but he is also one of the best teachers. He is very thorough and leaves nothing out. Please follow his instructions carefully, especially about materials; he is specific for a reason! This can be uncomfortable at first but the reactions are very intense.
Hong Kong • Jan 20th, 2014This is an extremely cool trick and the method is even cooler! Wayne Houchin teaches two methods to accomplish the trick. This trick really freaks people out and it looks real. BUY IT NOW!
United Kingdom • Nov 24th, 2013One of my favourite trick ever so easy to do. So spine thrilling and effective! One of the best trick ever made. I recommend it to any one. You will love it. Suitable for intermediate and expert levels.
UK • Oct 2nd, 2013It's easy to do and very very visual. One of the most useful effects out there.
Phoenix, Arizona • Sep 28th, 2013Great effect and an amazing video that clearly demonstrates how to preform this trick.
Connecticut • Aug 4th, 2013One of the best effects you can do anywhere! Gets awesome reactions and is just amazing! Hands down one of the best magic tricks ever!
Canada • May 31st, 2013Feels very akward at first but after a few performances you get use to it. I like this trick because I can introduce it as more than a magic trick as it's more like doing the impossible. Takes a while to set it up but it's worth it for the reactions you will get!
Maryland • May 30th, 2013Thread is one of those effects that is not just a trick. The presentation is so simple but the moment you pull the thread out of your eye, your spectator goes nuts. The quality of the DVD is top notch, so don't worry about that. The trick itself is very simple. So far I have only used the geek method. The geek method will feel uncomfortable at first, but like everything, you will get use to it. I have not had any problems. The sleight method looks almost identical. I have not tried it but I'm sure it would hit just as hard. If you're the kind of person that could see yourself performing this, then I would pick this up. It's very simple and clean. Simple effects are always the best. The reactions are just phenomenal.
USA • Mar 24th, 2013This illusion has easily become my most favorite trick I own. It is a beautiful effect. I just did it at college and I got the best reaction I have ever gotten. My girlfriend is now freaked out. I recommend this effect to any serious magician. This trick is the real deal. You will be remembered by all who witness this.
Alabama • Mar 4th, 2013BUY IT!
UK • Feb 28th, 2013Incredible trick. Maybe the best trick ever created! I love how Wayne Houchin performs this effect.
Cyprus • Feb 2nd, 2013Just sheer brilliance. Absolutely love this! So different from any other effects, and with the well taught gypsy thread as an opener...Perfect!
UK • Jan 18th, 2013Two methods are shown: Geek and Sleight. People say that the geek is bad for eyes and so forth. It's not. Follow the instructions carefully. It is uncomfortable (about a 3/10 - no worse than the after effects of an eyelash when it has come out). Performed this in various situations, no bad post effects, and it went down brilliantly. Even if everyone is suitably grossed out. Only thing missing is the ditch move. Easy to work out though.
Lancashire, UK • Dec 20th, 2012This is a brilliant effect. This is easy to setup, but takes a while to do . The tutorial is very in depth.
New Jersey • Dec 4th, 2012An absolutely brilliant effect! Very easy to do and hits hard! One note is that I was a bit hesitant at trying the method at first because I thought it was a little crazy, but once I got used to it I spent literally an hour looking in the mirror seeing how good it looked. Highly recommended.
Canada • Nov 19th, 2012This trick even fooled my brother who's a doctor - he said it was biologically impossible!
