I've been working on a routine that's basically a combination of 2. Two sugar packets on the table are chosen by the spectator and a dollar is borrowed. The dollar is signed and used to vanish sugar from the first sugar packet by use of a thumb tip, this is the routine off of one of the Michael Ammar videos. After that trick the bill is vanished and then pulled out of the second sugar packet that was chosen.
The trick itself is nice, but I'm having trouble vanishing the sugar. I've had far more success vanishing salt into the thumb tip because the salt won't stick to the thumb tip, dollar, or my fingers very easily. The sugar however is the exact opposite, even if I get a fair amount of sugar int othe TT when I try to dump it out when I reproduce it it gets stuck at the tip of the TT either from the heat inside the TT or simply sweat from my fingers. The sugar isn't a very realiable thing to vanish, does anyone know of either any alternatives or any way to avoid this problem?
