'''Invisible thread''' is very thin [[Monofilament fishing line|monofilament]] thread used by [[Magic (illusion)|magician]]s to make small, lightweight objects seem to [[levitation|levitate]] and [[animation|animate]]. It is usually made from [[nylon]] which has been separated into individual strands. A famous illusion is the Floating Bill.

Invisible thread is available in stripped or unstripped form. In an unstripped form the thread is actually a cluster of invisible threads and has to be separated (stripped) to be used in a performance.

Invisible thread may also be constructed from single strands of silk. Edges of silk that are fraying will reveal "invisible thread".{{citation needed|date=February 2013}}
