“Ted’s Thread is the best!”- Chris Ramsay
“Without a doubt the BEST THREAD I’ve used for Gypsy Thread. So easy to break and the visibility is INCREDIBLE. The gimmick supplied makes this SO EASY so the thread will NEVER tangle.” – Paul Romhany
If you perform the Gypsy Thread or Hindu Thread you will love our easy-to-break UV Gypsy String. It is the same recipe as the Camirand Glow Thread but with thick, easy-to-break string (no bleeding fingers!). It is super-saturated with ultraviolet-sensitive pigments so it appears very bright under ordinary light and it glows brilliantly under black light. It is so visible it can be seen from the back of a 1,000-seat theatre!
The Gypsy Thread, also known as the Hindu Thread, is a classic of magic and it has been performed by legendary magicians such as Eugene Burger, Peter Samelson, Hans Klok, Slydini, Doug Henning and David Blaine. The plot is simple but can be very powerful. A length of thread is removed from a spool. The thread is broken into numerous short pieces. One of the pieces is separated, and the rest are rolled into a bundle. The bundle of pieces is placed onto the center of the single thread, where it clings in place. The two ends of the thread are pulled and the bundle unravels, revealing the thread to be completely restored into one piece.
You receive a package of:
- 2 wooden spools of UV Gypsy String totally 2 x 45 meter and good for around 50 performances.
- Outerbridge UV Gypsy String Winder gimmick

“Thanks for reintroducing me to Gypsy Thread with a good solid workers version. Cannot recommend it enough folks.” – Matt Johnson
“The instructions are very good… great visibility and breakability… this is the string to use if you are playing a large theater.” – Danny Orleans
“I must say that this is the best thread I have used, super bright, looks so strong, but yet easy to break.” – Mark Southworth
“I have been doing the Gypsy thread for 50 years. I have tried all types of thread, string, yarn to do this effect. Ted Outerbridge has hands down, the BEST string I have ever used. It is thicker than thread but not as thick as string. It has just enough stiffness to make it manageable and because of this trait, it NEVER tangles. It is now my only choice for this effect. I will never use any other.” – Bruce Kalver
