Keep that in mind because they are all you need. Most, in fact every, magic shop or magician I've ever seen sell rubber bands really sell Alliance brand etc to suckers who think there are special rubber bands out there. If you want to pay a premium please do so, but you do not have to.

Thanks for the tip on Alliance bands... they may replace my 1 lb. bag of 19's that I bought from Staples! Gary Ailes Hot Shot Magic www.hotshotmagic.com

Reminds me of sport collectors. Took the wife to a sports show and they had Steve Young Wheaties boxes, full, selling for either $20 or $25 depending on the vendor. After the show I picked one up for her at the grocery store for three bucks.
