"This is a tough one to review; it is really a utility device. But I'll give it my best shot, for I feel that these deserve a review.
What Are Loops? Loops are an ingenious invention from the mind of Mr. Yigal Mesika. Yep, that's right; these are from the guy who brought you Electric Touch and the Spider Pen. These are strong, invisible, elastic, loops of thread that allow you to move objects at will. They are cheap, and they come in packages of five loops. There are infinite possibilities.
The Effects- You can move anything AT WILL. My favorite thing to do is set down a pen on a table and have it shake. You can also have a deck of cards spit out a spectators selection, or even make a fork spin on a table. These make people scream, yell, and run away. I have seen MANY restaurant and party magicians use this, and no one catches a thing. It even fooled me; I thought that they were using an M5! Magic at its finest. 9.5/10
The Method- The Loops are VERY strong. I played a one-hour game of football, and I didn't break one Loop. However, these CAN break easily when not used right, so be sure to STOCK UP! They work very well in almost ALL light conditions, but it is recommended that you perform these in a dimmed room. MAKE SURE to use a black surface. NEVER use light colors with your Loops. These are really an ingenious creatin. 9/10
The Instructions- Yigal personally explains how to handle your Loops during performance. It comes with two effects, which include making a fork spin and moving a deck of cards to reveal a spectator's chosen card. He really wants you to come up with your own applications for these. However, I found these pretty helpful. 8/10
The Packaging- The Loops come in an envelope. They are hooked onto an index card with slits so that you can get them on and off easily. No Loops were broken in my shipping. 9/10
Overall- These are a gift from God. Any restaurant or walk-around magicians MUST BUY THESE. They are inexpensive, yet they are the most POWERFUL utility devices I have ever used. These are really awesome. Yigal, you are the man. 9/10
Thanks for reading, and if you have any questions then just shoot me a PM.

 "Hey all. I just got my order of loops today...with my black wristband!
Loops by Yigal Mesika
Effect:
There are many things you can do with the loops as you are only limited by your imagination. Some things I've done today are float some money, a receipt I got from my mom, and some other misc. things. The Loops come with 2 routines though. One is cutting to a revealed card w/o touching the deck. Another is making a fork move. I have not tried either, as they seem a little risky to me. But I am sure I will. But like I said again, there are so many things you can do with these babies that I could base a 15 minute routine around these things with a little thought.
Strength:
Ok, first off, let me tell you this. Get any and all thoughts out of your head that loops are bad. Right now, before I continue. Are they gone? I can read your mind, and you are still nervous. Get rid of them! These things are unbelievable. At first when I took them out of the package, I was nervous. I thought to myself, "these things are gonna snap like a twig...whatta waste!" But, I am absolutely in love with these things. I have not broken one yet! They are super strong. And another good thing, they are elastic! I'm not sure if people understood that or not before buying, but I certainly did not. You can feel when they get stretched enough and back it off some. I normally have my hands about 6 inches away (6 inches on both sides! about 10-12 inches total!) from the item I am floating. But like I said, these things are super durable!
Shipping:
Ok, I'm not sure about anyone else, but one thing that I was worried about was shipping. I was worried that they would break in transit. But luckily, they all arrived perfectly! They are shipped in a very easy-to-get-on-the-wrist manner. I was pleasantly surprised. I also received them in 3 days as well...and that’s with free shipping! It' normally 2 days for my with priority, so I am happy there as well. Thanks E shipping department!
Overall:
Get them! With the new DVD from Danny Garcia, Justin Miller, and a few others I believe, these things will be hot! (And I don't mean stolen either!). They are very easy to use and wear. I actually have one on right now as I type this. So, once again, if your in doubts, just pick up a box and see for yourself. For $10 w/ free shipping, you can't go wrong! I guarantee that you will be just as happy as me.
Good Luck!

"Loops are amazing. they are strong and realy realy REALY hard to see.you can tell when the loop is at its full reach so you dont break them. They do break for reasons such as rough worn surface of the sunglasses cut the loop or a tangle being undone to fast, but other than this they ae wonderful. 8 out of 10"
