I'm putting this together and need to buy elastic cord for the vanish. Can anyone recommend an online place to purchase cord?

Anyone of your local fabric or arts and crafts store should have it, or at least something that will work...

Definitely go to a sewing supply / fabric store for this. Or a Michael's craft store if those are still around. WalMart won't have it.

I've been doing my Coin in the Bottle the sameway for a very long time. I use a Coronita 7oz bottle, which is nice and small. Fits nicely in my back pocket with no bulge. I make my own false bottom and found the elastic from Joann's Fabricks. As I use only 1964 Silver Kennedy Half Dollars, and don't won't to damage them, I use a very long set of tweezers to remove the coin. I believe I got the idea for the tweezer from Lonnie Cheverie.

Thanks guys. 30 years ago, I made a "pull" with elastic cord and a "cut in half" ping pong ball. It was my favorite trick.
1 I was wondering, before I go to a fabric store for a cord - does anyone know if there are different types (some cords may be more/less flexible than other cords). 2 Also, I like the idea of a smaller bottle - does anyone know of a nonalcoholic beverage bottle - one that is as small as possible (like the 7 oz) |

Sometimes if you are lucky you can find the small coke bottles

I made my perrier with a twist. After purchasing the effect, I wanted a different bottle. I had several bottles (depending on venue) and bought the norm neilson bottle thru the table gimmick set. I used the standard cord from a fabric shop and never had an issue.
I am not sure what else you could use in place of the elastic cord. |
