Here's an amazingly visual bit of geek magic. You place some thread in your mouth and then pull it from out of your eye. You can definitely freak people out with this one.
Geek and Freak
On this DVD, Wayne Houchin teaches you two techniques: a geek method and sleight method. As you may suspect, the geek method requires the use of your eye as an integral part of the effect. If you're someone who doesn't care to work around your eyes, be warned, this is not for you.
The sleight method is not as clean and convincing, but allows you to perform the effect with less interaction with your eyes. Since Houchin performs classic "Gypsy Thread," a classic torn and restored thread effect, as an opener to "Thread," he teaches it here.
Easy on the Eyes
To perform this one, you'll need to be comfortable working with and using your eyes. I imagine that those of you with sensitive eyes, for example, if you can't wear contact lenses or have allergies, will want to steer clear of this one. Houchin does offer fair warning on the DVD.
In all, Thread is a showstopping stunner. And this one will take some effort and involved steps to perform.
MSRP: $30.00
