Yigal Mesika is an incredibly talented young magician from Israel. He has created
many powerful new effects with the loop. He also found it necessary to improve
the quality of the loop and so, for the past seven years,Yigal searched until
he found a better way to manufacture the loop. This improved product can be stretched
UP to 400% of it's original size and is perfectly suited, in strength and invisibility,
for the routines found in this book.Until now there has been very little information
available on the loop and that kept the subject relatively unknown and rarely
used. The aim of this book is to guide you through the techniques of working with
the loop, as well as to give you some applicable routines for stage, close-up
and mentalism. Most of the effects were created by Yigal Mesika. The rest of the
effects, as indicated, were compiled from the repertoires of working magicians,
Yigal's friends.
