My name is Moises Lima, from Brazil.
I saw the other day in a video a magician from Japan that took out of his belt buckle a lighter to light up his cigarette and proceed to do some cigarettes manipulations.
This is apparently not a magician's gadget, but a smoker’s item to "look cool".
I want to buy one of this, but I am having a hard time to find it in the web (probably because my poor English).
BTW, this is not a giant buckle, but a regular looking buckle that opens up and reveal the lighter.
Thanks for your help and any corrections you want to make regarding my choice of words to make my post more understandable will be appreciated.

The magician is Cyril. I, too, am looking for the buckle.

You can find them at hot topic.

If you don't want to search... http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.as......3&RN=170.

That's right, it was Cyril that I saw. Thank you guys for the links, but I am looking for a buckle that look more like a regular one, that I can use with a suit. I don't want to be the biker magician... 8P
If you guys find the one that Cyril use or similar, please PM me and/or post it here. I'll do the same. Thanks

More than an year latter and I still didn't find it...

With the size of a Zippo lighter, I don't think you are really going to find one that is smaller...At least not small enough to go with a suit.
I have one of the larger ones (Biker clothes fit my personae) and I think they are great.

Honestly guys, as cool as it looked for Cyril to do this, and also due to the fact that you cant find the right belt buckle, why don't you try to do something else.. Here are 2 thigns you may want to try:

1) Get the belt buckle from Hottopic, and modify it to your needs. See if you can take the peice that opens up off (the skull part), and replace it with another belt buckle that would fit your persona..

2) Nix the whole belt idea, and get your mind working on how to adapt this to somewhere else on your body.. One thing that may look cool is to modify your shoe/boot with a metal peice that holds the zippo like a holster, and when you need it, kick your foot up, grab the lighter, and there you have it.. Just get thinking and be creative..

Hope this helps,

Ok guys, I have been doing some searching, and came across 2 different Zippo Lighter Holder Belt Buckles:

http://www.eknifeworks.com/webapp/eComme......U=BS3082 - This first one has very little information, and I'm not sure if the Zippo is held in by a magnet or anything, so I'm not sure it is too safe to wear this one with your zippo if you'll be jumping, or moving all over the place, as your zippo may fall out... Plus, it has a nice look, and I think can be used for anyones persona...

http://www.viciousstyle.com/proddetail.p......RLIGHTER - This one is a bit different... The look is very flashy, and looks a bit more towards the rock image... Also, you will not be using your own zippo for this, as it comes with its own center-piece zippo.. It states that the zippo is held in with a magnet, so that will keep you resting assure that your zippo will stay secure...

Well, I hope this helps some of you guys!

Vinnie, thanks for your ideas and research, I apreciate that. But I am obcessed for this belt now for more than an year. I came across the models that you find thousands of times during my quest to find it but I never got close to find the model(or similar) that Cyril uses. I already have a nice lighter/belt bucle, but it works with gas. I want the one that is used with a Zippo, cause Zippos have a lot of proprieties that I need for some tricks, like keeping it lit fore more than a minute in spectators hand without burning their fingers, and of course, the Zippo manipulations. But thanks anyway.

Hi there,

I just happen to browse through this post. Haven't seen Cyril's version of belt lighter, but I've seen something looks ordinary:

This one looks like an ordinary belt... Hope that helps.

Best,
Victor

Nice find, Victor!

Looks as though it runs on butane, eh?

Belt up - Hey, nitemares666, you don't need the belt with a name like yours. Flames should be coming out of your fingers.

Talked to Cyril. He said the company doesn't make them anymore. But, he is talking with them to make a limited number so he can offer them on his website.

Any news after that?

Actually... Everyone's going the wrong way about this belt buckle search.

The type that's available for consumers is actually one that's heavily sold on ebay as well as other online shops including "Hot Topics", etc... There's no latch that holds the zippo in place. It's held there simply because it locks into the mold, I know, because I own one.

However, the one that you saw Cyril using it not available on the market.

The first time I'd seen the belt bucket(that conceals the zippo), was actually on a stage show by "Rico de la Vega".

Now here's the 6 degrees of separation before Cyril and the belt buckle.

"Rico de la Vega" is either a founding member or original member of Magic X.
Cyril is also part of Magic X.
To my knowledge Rico does support/advisement for Cyril's Japanese performances.
I've also seen other members of Magic X using that same belt buckle.

Upon re-watching Cyril's "Hyperspace Magic Under Impact! III", I noticed that same belt buckle being used for another cigarette magic routine. Essentially, it has the Magic X logo engraved on the zippo, and it has a horizontal latch on the belt that locks it into place on the belt. This is probably a custom item, which is not available to the regular consumers.

Here's some screenshots of the belt buckle lighter I mentioned.

I figured a picture might do a better job of illustrating the point.

Unfortunately, I'm contending with some real confined picture requirements.
