Ever since Ron Jaxon and I released a video on youtube showing our new personal programmable invisible thread system which we call iThread. We have had about a hundred e-mails with questions concerning this new product. Trust me we are as excited as you are about this one. Ron and I have been working on this concept for several years. It wasn't until recently that I was happy with the technology to move forward with this product.

The iThread controller has what we like to call perfect tension technology. This is a first when it comes to electronic invisible thread reels. You ask what is perfect tension technology? In a nutshell this means normally when you are using electronic invisible thread reels the biggest drawback is the batteries they use. Some of them use AAA batteries and there's a few out there that use watch style batteries. The drawback to this is your thread tension always changes depending on battery life. If you put a fresh battery in your unit it will work very well for a little time and then slowly as the battery begins to drain its power. The tension changes and becomes much weaker. Dramatically affecting your invisible thread animations. With perfect tension technology this problem has been eliminated. We have built-in a power regulator that insures that the motor always gets the same power. Meaning that your thread tension will always be perfect regardless of battery life. This is quantum leaps ahead of all electronic invisible thread reels.

We didn't stop there though. In 2004 ultimate magic productions released PTS. Sean Bogunia's programmable thread system. For the first time in the history of thread animations for magicians. The magician could now program in animations in real time right on the PTS unit with no need for a computer. To create floating and animation effects such as the dancing hankie (my favorite :) ), animated paper or artificial butterflies that seem to come to life and animate like a real butterfly, and many other classic thread animated magician effects. Our programmable thread system was the first of its kind in our industry. And now we have built that same technology into our iThread personal programmable invisible thread system.

And I have hired one of the top invisible thread workers in the world today Ron Jaxon to oversee every aspect of this project from design to instructions so we are very confident that you will be very happy with your personal programmable invisible thread system. We guarantee it!!

Here are the key features

1. Perfect tension technology.

2. It uses two AAA batteries (for the longest battery life of any invisible electronic thread reel on the market today)

3. iThread can be used just like a standard electronic invisible thread reel (without the tension loss)

4. iThread is completely programmable exactly like PTS. Complete with programmable speed control, the ability to program when the motor turns on and off with variable speed playback in program. Your personal programmable thread system is extremely easy to program. If you can push a button and turn a knob then you can program iThread.

5. We have also built-in a USB connection. Your unit ships with the exclusive ultimate magic software that enables you to download programs from our website and load them into your iThread controller without ever having to program it yourself. The exclusive ultimate magic software also enables you to save programs that you make and save them on your computer for later use. Another first in the industry!!! And with time permitting you can contact Sean Bogunia to possibly make a custom program for you and he will e-mail it to you to load it into your unit for truly downloadable magic!!!! Wow that's pretty cool!!!!
   Note: To keep costs down the USB connection board will be sold seperately.

6. iThread comes complete with an RF keychain style remote that gives you two functions the ability to activate the program at any time in your routine. It also gives you the ability to start and stop your programs. Basically a pause function (exactly like PTS). But wait there's more!! The remote also enables you to work the motor live. Press the button and the motor activates as long as you hold the button.

7. iThread can be worn on the body or hidden somewhere a way from the magician to create animations with out ever being connected to the system at all. This enables you to create effects and animations never before possible with invisible thread!!!

8. Multiple iThread units can be connected together to create three-dimensional and two-dimensional animations, again exactly like PTS . Imagine causing a dollar bill or any other light object to fly all over the room in a three-dimensional pattern or two-dimensional pattern without any connection to the magician at all!!! And without the need to worry about special backdrops.

9. When our first prototype was done we contacted James George. The inventor of the ITR™. We Asked him to recommend an invisible thread that was strong and reliable. He immediately recommended his Kevlar invisible thread which in my opinion is the best thread that I have ever tested so all iThread units will ship with Kevlar invisible thread from James George. The inventor of the ITR™.

10. iThread has two very unique features built into it. The user has the ability to adjust the maximum speed of the motor. This is crucial when working with invisible thread. The other feature is the ability to adjust the maximum torque so you're iThread unit can be used with different types of invisible thread. From the strong stuff to the very weak Woolly Nylon. So far all of the videos demos that Ron and I have released have used woolly nylon. In a nutshell iThread does not have the ability to break the thread. The only time the thread breaks is when the user brakes it....
