Its softness, stretch and elastic response are part of the design of an effect. Change the thread, and the same movement can feel and behave differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter months of hands-on use and developing new effects with this thread, I chose to offer two specifications: 10D and 15D. Each gives you a different feel, so you can choose what works for the effect you want to create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack from production. Excellent matte performance.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thread is produced black, rather than dyed black afterward. That avoids the post-dyeing process and the concerns about staining hands and thread life that I associate with post-dyed thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts matte appearance is one of the qualities I appreciate most. In my own use, I have not encountered the entire strand catching the light and appearing white instead of black. It is a key reason I use this thread in my own work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10D or 15D: what is the difference?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD stands for denier, a measure of a thread's linear density: its weight in grams per 9,000 metres. It is not a load rating or a stretch multiplier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, the feel matters more than the number. To my eyes, 10D and 15D look almost identical, both before and after stretching. The difference is in how they respond to your movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10D: softer feel, gentler return\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10D feels softer, with a gentler elastic return. Starting with the same length, I can stretch it a little farther than 15D. It is a good choice when your effect calls for a lighter return or more room to extend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15D: more pronounced elastic feedback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e15D gives a more noticeable elastic response. In my experience, it is better suited to objects heavier than a banknote, such as rings and pens, for levitation, balancing and movement effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA choice for the way you work\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI believe professional magicians should understand which thread suits the effect they want to achieve. That is why I offer both specifications: so you can choose according to the object, the movement and the elastic response you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHondo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour selected single spool, or the 10D + 15D pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt least 300 metres of thread per spool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElastic band tutorial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElastic band tutorial included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included tutorial shows you how to turn your thread into an elastic band.
