The Magic Emporium is pleased to present to its customers what it believes to be the best thread available. This elastic thread can be used in seemingly infinite ways to create magical moments for your spectators. This product is strong and has all the properties that make it the premier product for those doing thread magic.
Having said that, we have made a decision to discontinue other brands of elastic thread and carry Legacy Thread exclusively. The manufacturer is working on a non-elastic product which we fell will be as good as Legacy Thread and once released we anticipate it too will be an exclusive recommended product with The Magic Emporium and its loyal customers.
We are not saying there are not other thread products on the market which are good. We are saying Legacy Thread is simply the best and we care enough about our customers to only offer them the best.
Do you need more convincing? Don't just take our word for it...here are what the professionals are saying.
"I have been using the standard Invisible Elastic Circles for the longest. Then Sebashtion turn me on to his Legacy Thread and let me tell you, it's the BEST Invisible Elastic Thread I ever used! I never seen a Invisible Elastic Thread that tough! I love the high tension! Now I need to buy me a Trinity System so I could make me some "Circles"....."

I got two spools of Legacy thread in the mail yesterday (thanks Sebashtion) so although I haven't had long to play with it this is by far the strongest thread I have ever used. I made a l##p (sorry yigal), and had it attached to a sharpie to test the strength of the thread. While it was floating my four year old nephew grabs the sharpie and runs away, but instead of breaking it stretches about 3 feet and then snaps back onto my wrist, any other thread I know of would have snapped.This thread can take a beating. (so far I have not had any breakage)
I was using infinity, but now I'm switching to legacy. With infinity thread I have a small fear of the loop or hook up breaking after performing a few times, but I think Legacy can withstand as many performances as I want to do.
My final thoughts, It's the strongest thread I have ever seen, but it's also invisible to the naked eye. I love it,i'm gonna be doing a lot more thread work. It's like the IET your using now...only it's stronger, has a better elasticity, and it has a cooler name...
Legacy...it's the beast of the thread world.

Seb has finally found the unfindable… The Holy Grail of IET. The Journals of magic when read to generations ahead of us will define this moment as a gigantic leap forward in thread magic…
The game is now changed”

I finally got my trinity system and was "spoiled" with a spool of stripped Legacy Thread to try it out. The Trinity System has been reviewed over and over again, it is a great device, it helps getting the job right for the clumsy ones (me!) Sebashtion mentions on the dvd that someone didn't like the color of the system, I have to agree with that person for ONE reason, a white finish would've been easier for the eyes to see the thread, that's about the only downside to it.
As for the tying process, if you can count to 10, you can tie it. The first couple of tries took me a few minutes just to get the tension and length right, after that the system itself became a measuring unit for me, whoever has the DVD will know what I mean.
There are 1001 ways out there to tie wrist hoops, and again, for someone like me who has trouble tying them and always ends up with "afro hair" like wrist hoops, this system helps a lot. I am finally able to tie wrist hoops/loops/bands/circles that fit MY wrist with no afro hair on it! This is one of the greatest advantages for me!
Amateur or a professional, it will save time and cost. For the dvd content, it's all clear, detailed, everything has been covered and credited.
Now, for the Legacy thread. SO FAR (I am still in the process of trying various settings/routines to test it out) It is hands down stronger, sturdier from what is available out there, stretches even more than the rest without losing tension.
To be fair, I tied loops using Mesika's Elastic thread and Legacy Thread, here's the verdict:
Haunted deck looks more stable (5-6 times using the same band of Legacy Thread, didn't break yet, 3 runs with Mesika's and ADIEU!),
VCR: 9 runs (I am baffled) with Legacy, 4 runs with Mesika's
Now out of the LOOP context:
Poker chips slides faster, boomerang card routine works flawlessly (Yes Yigal provides another type of elastics with the instructions, I just used the Legacy Thread, a few tries so far and it didn't break and didn't cut thru the wax BUT I am using two strands and it still is invisible)
As with anything and everything, it all comes down to your personal preferences, in a head to head comparison the Legacy Thread is my weapon of choice. And this is coming from an amateur. --PKG
