"A stroke of GENIUS."

"Perfect in every way."

"A strong, powerful piece of magic" -Lonnie Chevrie

Lonnie Chevrie creates magic for one reason: To perform them at his paid gigs. This is one of his signature tricks, and it kills.

Broken and restored thread is a classic plot in magic. Pros around the world use it because audiences LOVE IT. And it's never used such a common household item until now.

Snap off 5-6 pieces of ordinary dental floss, and fuse them together. No need for special magic props, this stuff is literally everywhere.

Easy to learn, and super powerful.

Lonnie Chevrie's Waxed is an updated version of the old Gypsy Thread trick. The magician brings out a small box of dental floss, cuts off several short pieces one by one, and then rolls them into a miniscule bundle at his fingertips. After blowing on the cut pieces, the magician restores them into one long piece, which is handed out for inspection.

This is one of my favorite pieces of close-up magic. The bits of floss appear to be in plain sight up until the moment they are restored at the magician's finger tips. The effect appears completely impossible and spectators are amazed by it. I use the trick for walk-around, even though it means I must carry several small boxes of floss in my pocket. The effect is well worth the expenditure of pocket space.

Waxed is available from Penguin Magic for about $10, which is a bargain considering its high quality. However, instead of buying Waxed as a stand-alone trick, I suggest purchase of either Lonnie Chevrie Live (a video recorded lecture available from Penguin) or Wanted: The Outlaw Magic of Lonnie Chevrie #1 (a DVD available from multiple dealers). Both contain Waxed (under the name of "String 'Em Up") and several other top-notch tricks. Chevrie is an excellent teacher. His tricks tend to be strong, and very practical, well within the reach of intermediate magicians.
