Tk wasn't made by Banachek - It was based on a technique Uri taught Daniel. D will be releasing it at some point I imagine, it's very nice.
Chris, Thanks for the kind words - The impromptu TK coke can effect will be released this year. It's as practical as blowing a pencil across a table, but uses a coke can, with the coke still in and has floored everyone who has seen it so far. I'm keeping it within a close circle for the moment until it's released though. Watch This Space.
Talking of Mr. Shaw aka Banachek, his PK Pen is a GREAT effect. I use it an awful lot, it's always in my pocket!
It's a regular looking white bic pen (comes with a normal to switch out for) and you can sit it on the edge of a table walk a way and concentrate hard, get everyone to concentrate to move the pen and it will slowly, but surely drops off the table.
It's completely self contained and it's only about £15.
As for other TK products with out thread, I believe john cornelius has a tk pen effect where it spins rather than drops, Who's Magic were working on a great little movement device, can't give details though!
Some more of my favorites include using Phork as a stand alone. Instead of bending it in the hands, place it on a hot surface or under a heated bowl and it will bend it's self in complete ISOLATION. Phork comes in at about $400.
Any other questions guys, just ask - I LOVE my TK stuff!
