Magician's Wax

S.U.B-Xero · 11-29-2007, 08:47 AM

Well, you don’t really MAKE magician’s wax. You buy it. BUT,
you don’t have to buy that expensive wax from magic dealers, you
can find it much cheaper elsewhere. I’ve found a perfect
substitution for magician’s wax, and I feel it is not only cheaper
and easier to find, but also better. All I ever do when one of my
“magical recipes” calls for magician’s wax is I go out to any Wal-
Mart, pharmacy, or dentist’s office, and I get dental/braces wax. It
is used to keep cover up jagged parts of braces, so that they won’t
cut your gums, and it comes in very handy little boxes that you can
carry with you everywhere. The wax also comes in mint flavored.
If all you can find is the mint one’s, get it. It doesn’t really matter
at all if it’s flavored or not, considering that the wax is still clear.
And if you’re “lucky” enough to have braces or know someone
that has them right now, most dentist’s and orthodontist’s offices
will give you free packets of the wax if you simply ask them for
some.

Cool, I use chapstick, which is a normal thing for anyone to have in their pocket, but I'm still looking for the stickiest kind. My wife's clear lip gloss is another good substitute.

I use the wax of bee, it is not very good because it hardens rapidly but if it is possible to use

I use Orthodontic Wax! it is very good in UFO card! it can handle coins and virtualy invisible. you can ask your local dentist where to buy, or just buy at their clinic! besides, you would only need one box( 2$ ) for a year!

I use wax for braces as well, but if you don't have them, I reccomend fun-tac, you can get it from staples or office max/depot.

tHERE IS A SIMPLE alternative to magicians wax and it is called Blu-Tack
i live in the Uk and i know it is definately sold there but im not sure about other parts of the world it is quite cheap and costs about £1.99 for a big pack of it.
it's not AS strong but it is quite strong to use.

Jade Ferrer · 11-20-2009, 07:29 AM

scademo · 11-24-2009, 12:30 PM

Orthodontic wax seems the way to go. I tried it once and its better than some regular magicians waxes.
