Best ITR?
- Thread starter Vazz
- Start date
Hey Brayden,
Basically we are very invested in the Tarantula 2.0 because of the following reasons
1.) It can be performed in practically any environment. What we mean is that it will not be stressful to find the right "time" to perform levitations as it can be done pretty much whenever you want! This becomes somewhat of an issue when considering reels such as Venom for example.
2.) It can be used without any clothing limitations. Most reels require a setup on the outfit that you will be using while the tarantula can just be thrown in your pocket and be ready to go when you need it.
3.) It resets instantaneously if done correctly, and when something " goes wrong" during the levitation it can take under 2 min to fix and you will be ready to keep floating objects. This is a major benefit as the techniques that Yigal Mesika teaches are far faster then any reel we have seen.
These are reasons why we believe the tarantula is a viable competitor for "Best ITR"
Hopefully this helps!

Was totally new to thread stuff and picked up a Tarantula II on the assumption that T11 wouldn't steer me wrong. That ideology holds true after playing with it for a week. Awesome product. Can't speak to other ITRs, but based on my research, this is the one that really allows for impromptu and non-restrictive performances.
I've seen people flash T2. I didn't realize they were doing it until they said it out loud. It really is super well hidden.
I thought he was messing with us. It was in a Murphy's Magic Live Stream. He said he wouldn't show it to us. I legitimately didn't know what to look for. He flashed it like 20 times before people said "what are you doing" and he said "I'm flashing it so you get an idea of what it looks like on your person. Even then, it was really hard to see.
The Tarantula 2, like the original Tarantula, is EXTREMELY well disguised. Near impossible to see if you aren't looking specifically for it. If I know what the gimmick is and I suspect someone is using it, I might see it if they flash, but otherwise it is near invisible. Really clever design.

The Tarantula ITRs are some of the coolest James Bond gimmicks you can get in magic. I definitely love the innovation.
That said, you asked for the best. There's no definitive answer but I prefer Loops for IT work. I avoid the outright levitation of objects and go for more subtle IT effects, I also like the affordability and lack of a mechanism in IT.
There are things that you can do with the Tarantula and other reels that are unique to them. That uniqueness may be the determining factor.
