I do a card effect where the spectator winds up with a burned card between their hands. I would like to be able to cup my hands loosely around theirs and have smoke appear just prior to having them open their hands to reveal the burned card.
can anyone give me some good ideas as to where to start as far as the smoke is concerned? I appreciate your help. Bobby |

Ultra smoke 2000 from ellusionist.com will do what you want.
Thou you need to wear a rig for the effect. I found it works out quite expensive if you do not perform it often as the smoke has a shelf life once opened. That aside, it is a killer, real magic in your spectators eyes!! If they cup their hands loosely, then yours round theirs, you should be able to have the smoke appear right in their hands, it will knock'em dead. |

Bear in mind that the chemicals used in ultra smoke are very hazardous, and the instructions actually, quite funnily say not to get near skin or clothing!!!
From experience it did get great reations, but was so awkward and bad to use that I ended up throwing it away :-( With proper care, it could probably be used ok. Whenever you finished using it you have to take the whole system out of your coat and take it apart and store properly. If your willing to put in the time it may be worth getting. Remember NOt to use it in resturants or placing involving food and NOT to get it to close to spectators. |

I appreciate the idea... Anyone else have a thought on this or perhaps another idea?
Many thanks! Bobby |

Im sure I read somewhere that someone had an idea using aroma therapy oils or somethings like that, but not to sure.
If there is a safe practical version out there somewhere, I would love to know. |

It would have been no good. The cartridge leaked and it had never been opened.

Well, to be fair, I did have that cartridge for a while. I suppose it's the sort of thing that wont last forever. I can see why it does cost a lot of money. I think the custom cartridges are probably not cheap to produce.
If your willing to put in the time to take proper care it may be worth it and should last a while. Also bear in mind that the chemical is very hazardous. I find it funny that the instructions say not to get near skin or clothing, yet you wear the dam thin. You also have to be carefull where you use it. Resturants are a definate NO. don't use near animals, don't use to much in a small room if their is no ventilation. You will get great reactions with it, but my own personal opinion is that it aint worth the hassel. Im sure others will share their opinions. |

I stored a cartridge after I'd opened it.. and I stored it properly..3 weeks later when I opened it..some black powder came out and that was it..no more ultra smoke..its a beautiful expensive trick that yo have to use immediately
