I got mine direct from Michaels site. If its just the wand youre ordering you shouldnt have any problems with customs charges. I purchased my wand, fab fruit and Mike Rogers Mini Baseballs from Michael. The service was very good and the products I recieved are of a high standard and made to last a lifetime. Highly recommended.

World of Magic sells the Mercury Wand, but it's frequently out of stock (and it is at the moment). So, you can order it from the US and wait for delivery, and maybe have to pay a Customs charge, or wait until World of Magic has it back in stock.

That is, unless someone else knows of another UK site that sells it.

Thanks for all of the advice offered.
I have got my Mercury wand now and it is SO well made for the flourishes, in fact trying to do so with the bigger clumsier one I have it was good practice for the Mercury wand.

I bought it from Elmwood magic in the US, too hard to find here in the UK!

Just need to get some decent brass cups now and I'm sorted!
Thanks all

A very good reason why a magician probably wouldn't use one! The Conjurer's selection is more relevent IMHO.

I have one from Alivan's I got from ebay for £2. It's nice, but I think I've only used it once for a story telling magic piece. I bought it more for using as a teacher for story time.
