Does anyone know who sells any COLOR #19 Rubberbands in bulk?

The Alliance Pale Crepe bands are great but the washed out beige color is too hard to see at a short distance.

I know the BRITES brand sells color bands but only in small variety packs of many colors.

Hmmm...I've not seen them in colors before. I'm also wondering if the colors might make the "penetration" easier to catch by a spectator?

Anyone willing to send over a few alliance crepe bands over to me to see if I like them?? I can't find them anywhere, and I'm pretty happy with the ones I got from staples (a HUGE bag that will last a long time) but I played with this one elastic that I found and it was sooo soft and almost translucent and was wondering if that was one of the alliance bands. I'd be willing to throw some money in someone's paypal account that has way tooo many of these things. Thanks

http://www.my-magicshop.com click accessories, then click rubber bands. I don't know how good the quality is, or if they are #19, but it is a 4 color assortment pack.

The Alliance pale crepe rubber are the only pure rubber rubber bands on the market, they stretch farther than any other rubber band, go back and read my friend Mark's post. The main reason why they are the best is because the seams blur when doing CMH. What others see as an advantage you see as a disadvantage. Compare the brite yellow with the pale crepe, and you will see for yourself why real band sharks prefer the pale crepe.

If you Froogle Alliance #19 pale crepe rubber bands they will give you a price for a pound, or you can PM me and we can chat further.

Al, I agree with you about the seams blurring with the Pale Crepes for CMH but I do other rubberband effects and just want bands that are a bit easier to see for a slightly larger crowd.

As far as I know the only tricks that need a fatter rubber band are "Missing Link", "Found Link", and "The Boomerang" trick. There ar many tricks done with the rubber band doubled up, which I won't name. The grey #19 are good quality, readily availible, and cheap at Staples, so buy a bag and keep them in the frig. How many rubber band tricks do you do?

Hey Frank
Now that you have "Found Link" did you figure out how to do the "Broken Bracelet" yet? If so Frank thank the godfather.

If you have "Rhing Thing" learning "Pinnacle" is a must. Look at the demo and you will see what I mean.
