Invisible thread is very thin monofilament thread used by magicians to make small, lightweight objects seem to levitate and animate. It is usually made from nylon which has been separated into individual strands. Some famous illusions include the Hummer Whirling Card and the Floating Bill.

Invisible thread is also used for animating objects. Stronger invisible threads can levitate heavier objects such as people and elephants.
