"Waxed" is a version of "The Gypsy Thread" or "Torn and Restored Thread." This version is taught to
you by magician Lonnie Chevrie. With Lonnie, you are in very good hands as he is an excellent
teacher. Lonnie is complete yet concise with his descriptions and demonstrations. On occasion, he
repeats a couple of moves for you just to be sure you are clear on finger and prop positions.
"Waxed" uses waxed dental floss - the kind that comes in a plastic dispenser, with a snap lid
and its own built-in cutter on the inside. The cutter helps immensely as you don't have to deal
with breaking the "thread" by hand or by using burning candles to cut the thread.
The
thread (floss) set-up is fairly standard, and the wax coating helps with this.
Later, after
you have cut off a number of pieces of the floss, the wax coating helps a lot with the next maneuver
you have to do with the pieces.
At the finish, you end clean as Lonnie has a neat little
move combined with putting the dispenser away in your pocket.
When "Waxed" is set-up and
ready to go, it rides around in the dispenser until you're ready to perform! A terrific effect by a
terrific teacher! What more could you ask for?
I watched the performance many times and figured this trick out. Yes it is set up in the dispenser before the performance. The only problem I have is that the waxed string isn't as easy to ball up as he makes it look. I bought the exact same dispenser and his waxed string looks thicker. I also notices his says Johnson & Johnson in red on the box. The new ones you see does not. I really believe the waxed string isn't as large. It takes some practice getting it to ball up properly. The move is easy for the switch of balled wax. Just wondering if anybody else has noticed the difference in the waxed string being smaller

Hey Ziggy! Did you ever get around to watching the performance?
Did you post for each time that you watched it also ?
I'm considering purchasing but what BRAND does Lonnie use? It appears from the comments above, that the effect may not work properly if you don't use the right brand. But if that brand is no longer available, will the trick still work? Anybody know what Brand he uses or can be used in 2020? Many Thanks! - JK
I have the same question as Joshua_York. Wondering whether Ziggy watched the performance. Please clarify, Ziggy.
Sorry for my English.
