How to Make Your Own Magicians Wax

Materials:
-a deep spoon
-wax from a candle
-glue
-a lighter
-something to hold the finished product

SAFETY WARNING!
I RECOMMEND YOU DO THIS AT A SINK JUST IN CASE THERE IS AN UNCONTROLLED FLAME! KEEP A WET RAG NEARBY ALL THE TIME!

The Process:

Put a piece of wax in the deep spoon, and pour glue over it. Now take the lighter, and hold the flame under the spoon. Since the spoon is metal it wont melt or catch fire. The wax will begin to melt and blend into the glue. Wiggle the spoon around a little to mix it up. After about 10 seconds of mixed, hot wax, pour it into your canister. You might want to use an altoids canister or aluminum foil. Let it dry for a while. Now, when you are ready to create your prop, just blow your breath onto the wax to get it warm, and then it'll be easy to use.

SAFETY WARNING! DO NOT PUT ALUMINUM FOIL INTO THE MICROWAVE! IT WILL CREATE AN ELECTRICAL SPARK! YOU WILL HURT YOURSELF!!!
