Murf,
 What is the thread that is recommended when using the Magic Tool? I just purchased one at the beginning of the summer and really haven't had the chance to really sit down and tie yet.
Ray;
Byard let me tie with it this summer and told me the name a dozen times.  I can't remember it for my life but I can tell you its properties.  It can be split in two with a bodkin to insert a brace of cdc or other material you have prepared with the Magic Tool and then spun with the bobbin to make great bodies.  It seemed to be pretty strong and I remember it to feel synthetic.
 
I looked for it on Lines End but don't recognize any of the brands listed as being the thread.  So... if you're out there Byard, HELP!  I know Byard can get it quickly for you and it really makes tying with the MT much easier and with better results than using a dubbing loop.  Yes, I've been using a dubbing loop since I don't have a spool (forgot to ask Byard to bring me one his following trip) and it is not nearly as easy nor are the results as nice.
 
BTW, I love my Magic Tool and am slowly learning all the cool stuff you can do with it.
