Hi guys,
This feels like such a stupid question but has anyone found a good place to buy small but wide elastic bands? I need just one for a small pile of cards for a couple of Out To Lunch based tricks - but absolutely nowhere stocks them! I've thought of using ribbon but it just seems suspicious to me - it's such a pain to get the cards in and out, with little flexibility on the number of cards in the pile - it would immediately make me think "why isn't this guy using an elastic band like normal...?"

Cheers!

Hey Farlsborough.
I have made wide elastic bands, cutting the rubber airhose for a tire with a sharp knife to the width I needed. You can buy different size hose, from bicycle to tractor...
You can also check out the Rubber band spec sheet of Alliance.

Thanks for that - I did wonder about an inner tube and after your recommendation I stopped by the local bike repair show to pick up a knackered old one - works a charm!

I've found them in the grocery store produce dept. The use them to wrap celery and lettuce leaves etc.

Ask your postman.

Are talking you about them small one that you find in dental braces.
