What Are the strongest loops

ii3randonmagic · Mar 17, 2013

I currently have loops by Yigal Mesika, I have googled and tried to find something that everybody can agree on but many people have different opinions are there any loops that are very durable, I have an effect that I would like to use loops on but the effect seems to be a bit harder than I expected so I wanted to see what loops are sturdy and hopefully get some!

Thanks,
Brandon

There's Kevlar a very strong IT, and some others as well. IDthink their are different strengths of Loops. But you can make your own with different threads.

I've been using Infinity V2 for a little while and had no problems with it. I hear good things about Legacy but I've not opened mine yet so I can't speak from experience.

In any case, they're all pretty much the same so they all hold a similar weight. If one doesn't work for your trick it's likely that no others will.

Get legacy thread.

I feel like infinity v2 is too visible, for there has been multiple times when people call me out and I just say, eww a hair, and rip it off and throw it away. I hear positives and a few negatives about legacy thread, you should just look into it more.

I know there's a ton of good IT out there. Personally Vector thread is one of the strongest from my own personal experiences, but to the best of my knowledge there is only one brand of "loops" least I be mistaken.

The strongest by far are the ones that Jeff Mcbride sells. You don't use them for classic thread work though because it's not completely invisible in every circumstance. I can't find a link but it was performed on Magic Outlaws by David Minkin on the Travel Channel just a couple weeks ago.

Here's the link where it is sold.
