Z Webs, by John Kennedy
Possibly the most ingeniuos and simple way I've seen IT supplied.
Not only is this a container, it's also a brilliant gimmick/dispenser.
If you're a fan of Lite Flite, Hummer Card or any other quick-fire IT trick, then you're going to love this.

From Kennedy, master of IT tricks! A small black tube, about 1 3/4" long, capped at both ends with white rubber - looks like a magic wand. Inside - loads of strands of good quality IT, cut to a convenient length and easy to extract! And because of it's appearance, I've even dropped it by mistake and said "Oh look, that's where my little magic wand got to!" and followed on to use it as a quick impromptu prop!
The tube can even be capped with the IT hanging out at the desired length and used as a stop in your pocket, under your collar etc.

This is possibly the fastest and cleanest method I've found for getting your IT ready. Well recommended.

Price: $14 ish.
Buy from: Can't find a UK retailer, have a search on the 'web'
Score: 10/10

sounds realy good but does it last long.

1 year and counting.

IT inside is basically 70 strands of 4 feet disposable = 70 performances.

Should have this available at Studio 9 fairly soon in case you haven't found a UK dealer who stocks it.

Nick - Do Studio9 have any plans for being able to buy on-line?

We've been thinking about it, but there are three of us running the place, the main boss spends an average of ten months a year on cruise ships, his wife has a full time job as an accountant and I'm busy at uni. This leads to problems with keeping the website up to date with sales and new stock, plus we don't stock large numbers of each item because our regular customer base knows what it wants (balloons and cards) so we just wouldn't be able to guarantee that everything on the site is in stock, or that we have listed everything we do have. Another problem is that of secure payments, the costs involved are to high for the amount of custom we would expect from the site, I know that you lot see links to it regularly, but I think I've got to refine my keywords on the site a bit as it never seems to go very high in search engine lists even though we do submit it regularly.

So in summary, probably not, I have offered to accept a full time wage and set up an online system but I would probably send the company into bancruptcy (sp?) with my first order!

Sorry!

[nickj]

I have also suggested a system of allowing online payments by PayPal on selected items that we always have in stock, so you might see that happen sometime.

[bananafish]

No need to apologise Nick- I was just being curious in this ever increasing web based age of ours.

To be honest - it's just as easy to phone in an order and pay by credit card anyway, and as an added bonus you usually get to speak to a someone who knows a bit about the business so can get advice or recommendations...

Although I must admit I made a little faux pas with Alakazam once when I asked Peter Nardi what he thought of the Stealth wallet...(well I didn't know who he was at the time! )

[seige]

Nick...

Paypal is an ideal way to do busness... as there's barely any transaction charges, and people can pay via credit card SECURELY without you're site needing to be secure.

I can help get your site 'noticed' if you like, in major searches by Google, Yahoo, Jeeves etc... and it's FREE (but is a little hard work...)

PM me if you're interested.

[nickj]

I know how to do it, and I think my dad has it on a regular schedule of submitions with Web Position, I just haven't optimised the site properly, I need better keywords in there.

[seige]

Nick.

I'll PM you some details!
