Self Tying Shoelace by Jay Noblezada
Walk down a busy street with your shoe untied. Complete strangers will INTERRUPT you to tell you your shoe is untied.
You didn’t ask for the attention. It just happened… But being born to perform is being ready when the spotlight finds you.
So you smile, make eye contact with your spectators, and give your foot a little shake. Your shoelaces start to snap back and forth, criss-crossing…
If you could move your foot in just the right way you might actually be able to tie your shoelaces without even touching them…
You give your foot another little shake and this time you get it just right.
To the astonishment of your spectators, YOUR SHOELACES visually TIE THEMSELVES!
The best part is, it’s a REAL knot and bow! Your spectators can inspect till their hearts are content!
Why STS?
Great trick, great results, and it kills if you prepared well enough that you can even pull up your pant leg to show that you're clean. Very simple, easy setup, fun to perform trick. Sometimes I do one leg, then when they say to do it again, I say sure, and even offer to do the other leg. By switching to the other shoe it makes it seem less gimmicked and really blows the spectator away. ESPECIALLY if I untie the other shoe in front of them before performing the effect! Definitely a keeper!
If you're like me, this trick will work perfectly with a casual street magic style. I've not used it a huge amount since I bought, but when I have its always impressed. I've put a bit of time into "dirtying" up the laces to make them more realistic, and would recommend the same to you. nice effect, well taught!
This is an amazing trick,it is angle-proof and shock everyone I perform it to.The price is very reasonable as you get an instructional DVD and the gimmick for $20.This is highly recommended.
TITLE and Creator: Self Tying Shoelace by Jay Noblezada Effect: The magician displays his untied shoelace, and it promptly ties itself Price: 20 bucks? i'd pay 30! PS: penguin, don't raise the price though! hehe Teaching: Jay is an amazing teacher, no exception here. Quality of materials(if it is a gimmik etc): the gimmick included works great, i have yet to have any problems with it! Difficulty: not that hard really,some might find it kinda hard i guess,but it wasn't for me. Applications: I use this with walkaround magic all the time, and with just family and friends! Overall Rating: 10/10 if there is a perfect trick, it very well may be this one, the problem is, it isn't perfect, because a great man once said, if the trick is too perfect, then there is only one explenation, and that is the secret!
STS is a must buy. A lot of times you will find out that it is really hard to perform a trick as nice as the magician in the DVD. But not this one. Very clever gimmick and with short set up time can make it like a real magic.
