When it comes to making things levitate, Yigal Mesika is the master. We’re delighted to be able to let you know he’s wholly redesigned his amazing Spider Pen and built what we believe is the ultimate motorised thread tool. It’s completely silent, it now lets you stall the levitation for up to 45 seconds. You can walk up to 40 feet away from the item you wish to float, and the spool can be changed in a flash.

“It's hard to imagine so much efficient ingenuity in such a small space. Mesika’s Spider Pen X is absolute perfection. And it produces absolute miracles.” Jim Steinmeyer

“Your handlings on The Floating Bill are the best I've seen - they look like real live Hollywood special effects!” John Kennedy

“Yigal Mesika has done it again. The Spider Pen X will prove a boon to the art of levitation. Always ready. Always under your control. It's positively supernatural.” Luis De Matos

"Spider Pen X" is now forged from stainless steel, to make sure this beautiful pen lasts forever. The new design is slimmer and sleeker than the original and the design of the pen is classy yet classic. Rather than the slightly fiddly batteries, it now runs of a single AAAA battery (included) which will last you up to six months.

Of course the tool itself is only part of the package, you also get a brand new tutorial video, shot in 4k. You’ll learn to make a borrowed bill magically float from the floor into your hand, how to animate a bill and make it mysteriously travel across your body, you’ll float a straw, make bills balance in impossible, gravity-defying ways and cause a leaf to travel back to the tree it fell from with a gentle blow.

This is a portable miracle you can always carry with you and be ready to perform instantly. Oh, and the pen writes and has a refillable ink cartridge!

Customer reviews for Spider Pen X

Gabriel
I had problems once I tried it for the first time. The spider thread got all tangled up around the spooler making it unusable. Now I have to wait for the spider threads to be available so I can give it another go. I'm very disappointed since I was really looking forward to perform this trick.
Leonardo
Ok first off, I just wanna say... I love it, its not a major upgrade from the spider pen pro (kinda) it is thinner and slightly smaller (awesome) but not much of a difference between them... so nothing new is really added to it except for the pen it's self, everything else is the same for the pen, but I still like it, I even perfer the spider pen over tarantula (tarantula is smaller... but it just uncomfortable for me not to mention your movement is slightly limited and you have to add alot of pressure to the cap for the thread to be locked...(but modifying the cap helps) but I perfer to lock the thread it's self from the housing) I recommend this pen, no big upgrades from the original, but it's still awesome... and for the video... it's basically the same as well except mesika teaches you how to hide a pen in a polo shirt, "releaf" (pre show and on the spot), and a way to hide the wax away from the pen, but still nice to watch as a refresher (If your new to itr, the methods he teach are great and perfect for performing) so... again, I strongly recommend this ITR, anything from mesika is gold (Also he mentioned he has black wax... WHAT!?!... When was this?) So buy it if you have a chance.
P.S. Also I did forget to mention, the reel does feel slightly stronger... but I just might feel that cuz its new... either way, not bad.
P.P.S. On the "FLY" segment "control" is spelled wrong... it doesn't bother me, I just wanted to let others know as like a Easter egg or something.

First off I was a bit apprehensive about buying this product because Ive had ITRs before and they're always going wrong with thread tangling and thread breaking which can be really annoying however I decided to go for this just because IT can be extremely powerful especially to laymen. This blew my expectations out of the water. The explanation is beautifully shot and lighted and the product is absolutely excellent the quality is fantastic. With regard the the routines I would have liked for Yigal to teach a haunted deck I think that would have made it perfect however the Zero gravity bill is completely incredible and feels like real magic to me even when Im doing it. Overall I would say this is an absolute must have if you have any curiosity in getting into IT. (Don't get me wrong this does go wrong, the thread breaks if your not careful occasionally it takes two times to retract due to the motor). But the mother is absolutely silent as advertised and the thread is really easy to fix. It takes like a minute to go into the spool and get more, by the way it may have been a one off but mine came without a battery but V with their amazing support gave me £5 to buy a new one so I can't complain about this however be weary of it and you may want to buy a battery for it before it arrives so you can get going with it straight away. Overall Just buy it, its great!
Martin
This is the best reel i ever seen, very smooth and constant tension. I don't regrets. This tool surpass my attempt and make my magic more realistic then ever. Discrete and easy to use. I recommande it for everyone, beginner or pro. The spool can be fixed easily after it break.
Ismael
Super sick trick fools a lot of people great routines! Set up is easy!
Glenn
When I recieved my order, the pen would only stay on for 5 seconds, before shutting off completely and only restarting after removing the batter. Vanishing Inc was FANTASTIC about helping me out and sending out a replacement.

The replacement worked perfectly out of the box. I have only played with it a little bit, but so far this is EVERYTHING I'd hoped for since the original Spier Pen.

The fact that it's FINALLY all metal is probably the biggest benefit I've been waiting for. (Ok, the insert part of the cap and the thread spool are plastic, but EVERYTHING else is metal.)
My original Spider Pen became useless shortly after the threading for the battery housing cracked and would no longer screw together, so the fact that ALL of the connecting threads and body of the pen are finally all metal.

There are some fantastic effects and tips and ideas on the included download. Sadly some of the work with bills won't work so well with newer polymer bills, but with some thought you can still do the effects.

So long story short, despite the long journey, I am thoroughly pleased with both the Spider Pen X, and Vanishing Inc's customer service!
Bertrand
Pros: This is a high quality tool and very silent. I played around with it to see if i can achieve some other feat, which i found out its possible to do most effect that you would do with other I.T reels. But you need to figure out you own method. Some effect that comes with it is nice. You can do the hunted deck with this, the best part u can stand straight or walk a few feet back..
Cons: I encountered an issue. Tried to reload the energy source after a few months the unexpected happened. It was stuck. Lost hope. Then i just grab some tools and pulled for weeks. Finally came out. It was a little rust. I just greased it alittle. Now its okay.

Very good product and high quality Reel. Recommended.

The thread broke first time I pulled it out less than a foot. I was able to attach the thread on to the wax. But when I put the spool back in the pen it spun around multiple times and broke again. There is nothing on the teaching video to explain how to put the spool in the pen to stop this. I contacted the maker, Yigal but no response.

  • Stefan asks: One last question if the thread breaks what will happen 1 The motor will keep running 2 the motor will pull the thread so that the thread gets lost or tangled. Tanks for answering

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:The thread is easy to find once it snaps, the pen is designed so the thread doesn’t get lost

  • Stefan asks: What if the thread breaks dringend the performence? And what is the job from the Motor?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:The motor keep tension in the thread, and will retract the thread, which is used in some thread effects. Yes, the thread may break, but with enough practice you will learn the tension needed, and be able to perform confidently.
