Protecting Your Investment: Proper Cabinet Care and Maintenance

Cabinet magic, also known as cabinet of magic or magic cabinet, is a term used to describe a type of magic trick or illusion that is performed using a cabinet or box as a prop. This type of magic trick is often associated with stage magic and is commonly seen in magic shows and performances. The cabinet is typically used to create an element of mystery and suspense, as the magician and their assistant(s) are often seen entering and exiting the cabinet throughout the performance. The cabinet may be large and ornate, or simple and unassuming, depending on the style and theme of the magic act. One of the most famous and iconic cabinet magic tricks is the "sawing a woman in half" illusion. In this trick, the magician's assistant is placed inside a large cabinet, and the magician proceeds to saw the cabinet in half, seemingly dividing the assistant into two separate pieces.

Originally popularized by Yigal Mesika, the invisible elastic bracelet is one of the most versatile and powerful utility gimmicks ever invented second only to the thumb tip. They re great on stage, in the bar, at school, work, and they absolutely FRY people at home especially if they know how some of your other effects work.

In this trick, the magician's assistant is placed inside a large cabinet, and the magician proceeds to saw the cabinet in half, seemingly dividing the assistant into two separate pieces. The cabinet is then closed, and when it is reopened, the assistant emerges unharmed and whole. Other common cabinet magic tricks include the "vanishing cabinet" trick, where an object or person placed inside the cabinet disappears and reappears elsewhere, and the "escape from the cabinet" trick, where the magician or their assistant is bound or locked inside the cabinet and must escape within a certain amount of time.

Best magic loops?

Hey fellow magicians, I am looking to perform haunted deck, levitating rings and bills. I am looking for the loop with the best strength to invisibility ratio for a respectable price. I would prefer a spool of the stuff as being 13, money is difficult to come by. I have never used loops before, what would you recommend me? Also, what is stripping threads and how is it done?

Thanks for your time,

To start with you need to understand the difference between Invisible Thread and Invisible Elastic Thread. Loops are Yegal Mesika's trademarked name for his bands of IET. They are sold in packs of 8 as Loops New Generation for around $10 and they come with a video that teaches floating bill and haunted deck. The effects you list can be done with IT, EIT and Loops.

Finn John and Yegal Mesika also have a 2 DVD set titled Loops for around $30. Ellusionist has a three downloads for $20 to $30 each (or $50 for all three) called Guerrilla Guide to Loops. Michael Ammar has three DVDs called Easy to Master Thread Miracles for around $30 each. They cover IT, IET and Loops.

To tie your own invisible elastic bands, I'd recommend getting Mesika's Elastics which is a spool of IET. There is a download called the Millionaire's Knot that teaches how to make your own invisible elastic bands but I don't see it available anywhere. I suspect with some amount of searching on the internet you can learn how to make them. It helps to have magician's wax to make your own invisible elastic bands - You can use Mesika Wax (which is around $10 for a tin) or buy white beeswax pellets in a craft store. Other folks like Michael Ammar's magician's wax.

I would get two eight packs of loops to begin with. Expect to go through an 8 pack before you get the hang of handling them (expect to go through two or three in the first five minutes) and then the second 8 pack will last you a while. It is worth it to get the video on how to use them. Once you do that, then I'd go on to making your own.

My one piece of advice for using loops is to gently stretch them out before using them. They will last longer that way.

For elastic thread i recommend prym 977770. Its like $7 for 200m and works better than anything else i've used. For regular IT I use magic makers which probably isnt the best but it works and comes with a good sized block of wax. Ots not stripped though so youll have to learn to do that if you get it. Stripping means separating individual strands from a woven thread the way i do it is to the length i want and stick one end to a table with wax, then you can just tease out individual strands. Its a little knacky but it works.

Recognize that the Magic Makers Invisible Thread cannot be used to make invisible elastic bands that are similar to Loops.

Do you have any tips for making your own loops. I've had a spool of Mesika Elastics from I think my first magic purchase, I've tried a ton of times, always end up not being able to do it, getting super close, breaking them, getting frustrated, making a few, breaking them before I can do anything, and then giving up after a while. I don't wanna buy any because I don't want to make more magic purchases until I start performing more often.
