Professional magician Jonathan Levey (http://www.maxmagician.com) pulled some floss out of a hat for this week’s Use: magic tricks.

The magic trick, called “Gypsy Thread”, involves cutting a piece of floss into several smaller pieces, then magically fusing these together to restore the original piece of intact floss. Watch carefully to see this trick transpire before your very eyes. Pay close attention!
