Hello everyone. I just bought the book The magic of Paul Pottasy in it he describes the razor blade swollow which was one of his most famous pieces. He describes a gimmicked spool of thread now can you make it yourself or can I buy It somewhere thanck you.

I don't know of anywhere you can purchase a premade gimmick for razor blade swallowing other than possibly Scott Alexander's The Blades (which is way overpriced). Most methods I have seen require gimmick construction on your own.

Yeah. That's one where you almost always make your own gimmicks.

Bizzaro's "Helter Shelter" has several ideas of ways to do the Razor Blade Swallow, including how to make a gimmicked spool of thread. The Geek Magician's Cookbook by Matthew Parrot teaches a method with a gimmicked floss box.
