If you don't want to make your own then you can buy billet pens from here:

If you can't find e glue (I know Omikse Ltd make the one I use) then you can make a similar glue using 3 tablespoons of rubber cement diluted with 1/2 pint of urine (human is best, don't use cow or goat as this won't work) and place it in a freezer in a tupperware container for six days.
After this it should be ready to use.

As many experienced magicians will tell you, E Glue has many uses and can produce miracles. It will astonish everyone.

although making your own is fun, you can buy your own.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but you can get a pen version from here:

Another alternative to e-glue is called e-by-gum, and is quite readily available in the North of England.

That's outrageous!

So I can go to Magic Inc and pay $10.00 for a pen that does exactly what this $70.00 pencil set does???

Hmmm... let me weigh this out based on what is most practical and cost effective.... hmmmm..... I wonder... :roll:

We agree on this because we are both so old that we remember the price of Billet Pencils when they were around and sold in every magic shop.

Nowadays $15 would be a fair price. Or perhaps at the most $20.

I did look at billet knives a while ago and the price was equally extortionate. :shock:
