This manuscript contains original routines as well as important information that appeared in the original 1989 manuscript. Even the illustrations are the originals. Enjoy and impress...

  • flashing
  • controlling the ends
  • camouflage
  • securing elastic thread
  • making a band of elastic thread
  • the slider (a precursor to Zoom)

  • floating card
  • coins on the move
Some of the information within this ebook is still being presented by others as if it were original to them. "History is best ignored at your own peril" someone very wise once said. So, here's a brief capsule of the real story of Elastic Thread, firmly established and supported by the printed record.

Michael Weber was the first magician to publish (and to establish in the written record) an elastic thread routine. His matchbox effect, utilizing the then unheard of magic-fibre, appeared in an issue of Genii Magazine. Michael credits his mother with having introduced him to the special thread.

Independently of this, (circa 1985) Finn Jon from Norway truly established the use of the thread within the magic fraternity. Finn is to be credited with the creation of a special application of elastic thread technology, ie: the Elastic Loop Elastic thread, like any thread, is a fussy medium to work with. Finn Jon's creation of the Elastic Loop is profound in its practicality and applicability - it eliminated the pesky ends.

Ben personally obtained a set of Elastic Loops when working a convention in Bordeaux, France. The year was 1986, and he was impressed. It seemed incomprehensible that a thread so fine could stretch so far. His mind filled with ideas and he continued to work on, and perform elastic thread magic throughout 1986-1989. This led to the development of the original Premier Elastic Thread (the world's first ever supply of BULK Elastic Thread, '87), and this booklet Premier Elastic Thread and Routines, ('89).
