Sympathetic Touch
Does anyone know the name of that classic mentalism effect where the magician touches one person, and another person, who's blindfolded, feels it? I'm not sure if anyone knows where I can buy or learn it.

To sum it up:

And if I had to guess...
Any of these two (looking at the accompanying videos):

I'd recommend Lior Manor's.

This one (the Specter), for the price, isn't even worth buying for what it is.
As an electrician, electronics engineer, and IT guy myself, it drives me nuts how something so simple can cost so much. I get that it's a business, but ugh.
(Even the Chinese version that costs 60 euros seems pricey to me)
Pk Touches, I think it's in Magic and Cardistry.
Hey everyone, regarding invisible threads, I accidentally picked up an ITR reel. Does anyone have any good tricks or routines they do with it? I mainly perform close-up for young kids, and I'm not really seeing much use for it in that context. Any suggestions?
@alexvelazquezarencib:
How do you "accidentally" buy an ITR reel? 😅
@alexvelazquezarencib:
It has plenty of uses and a ton of tricks (though, right off the bat, I don't think it's ethical to reveal them directly here). But it should have come with a tutorial, right?
The key is knowing how to use the ITR well so you don't snap the thread quickly.
At first, I ruined quite a few.
Until you learn how to fix them, it's a real pain.
In my case, every time one broke, I just bought another and another....
I ended up making a training one, an identical reel but with super-fine, visible thread to practice the moves. That way, if it broke, it wouldn't be a big deal, and it would be easy to repair so I could keep practicing.
It's a way to avoid using your regular reel until you've got everything well-rehearsed.
Later, I also picked up the Spider Pen Pro and the Tarántula II (which are essentially the same thing, just with more tech), and their refills will "suck your soul" dry if you don't learn to fix them yourself.
Any reel is super useful, as long as you know how to use it precisely, and especially how to REPAIR IT YOURSELF.

Well, for animating origami, for example, like the classic bird or butterfly that flies around.
