I am looking for an effect like this to go in my act. I do not want to appear flowers on stems, but flowers that look more like this: http://www.ronjo.com/Merchant2/merchant.......=M002291 However, at $2.99, the flowers from fingertips might not be too great of quality! Ronjo magic also sells a vernet flower holder (http://www.ronjo.com/Merchant2/merchant.......e_Code=R) which looks cool but on the Daytona Magic website (http://www.daytonamagic.com/Accessories/AC12.htm) the flowers look much less realistic!
Has anyone used a multiple production of flowers like this in their act, or can anyone recommend anything?!
Thanks.
Sam

The best quality spring flowers are made by Rick Thomas, I believe. They are not cheap, but they are excellent quality. He doesn't have a website, though his contact details are on this forum somewhere.

If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, go with the vernet version. They are also on Ronjo's site.

Where are you learning the productions from, out of interest?

Thanks Kevin,
In regards to where I'm learning the productions from, I thought that the vernet one was fairly simple, because they are in a holder? I was basically going to learn from the instructions that come with the flowers!
Would it be better to get a book or video on the subject?
Thanks.
Sam

It is possible to learn from the instructions, but remember that transfers etc. can be performed with these holders to show hands empty between productions.

All the brands of flowers require holders to be produced. If not, they will pop open unless you have continuous pressure on them, this is basically what the holder does.

I used to make them but it's not worth the trouble for the money you can get for them. Steve Thomas makes good stuff.

But routining is the key here as previously mentioned.
