PREPARING THE INVISIBLE THREAD (STRING)
The invisible string is wrapped around a holder designed for easy handling, and multiple strands are woven into a single string. In order to use the string, you must pull a single strand from it.
STEP 1: Unroll. Unroll approximately four to five feet of string.
STEP 2: Grasp. Grasp the string near the end using your left hand.
STEP 3: Separate. Separate a single strand and begin to pull it from the string by pinching it between the thumb and forefinger of your right hand. It may help to keep track of the string by performing this work over a white background.
STEP 4: Loosen. As the strand resists being pulled, loosen the grip with your left hand and push down lightly on the mass of strands. This will release more of the single strand that you are pulling from the string.
STEP 5: Anchor. Anchor the strand to a work surface using scotch tape. This helps you keep track of the strand, which may otherwise “accordion” to a shorter length and become hard to manage.
STEP 6: Extension. Continue gently pulling the strand followed by pulling down the bunched strands below until you have released roughly five feet of string. Cut the strand at this point and attach a small piece of magician’s wax end of the strand.
STEP 7: Rewind. Don’t forget to rewind the remainder of the string for later use.
