I am doing a "danger" show at the business I normally do birthday partys. I don't have a chance as a rule to get to play with fire, but with Halloween here we are putting on a couple of "danger" shows. I thought I'd pass along something that has worked out very well for me and, from comments, is visually very stunning.
I am using !Warning - by Kostya Kimlat as an opener to grab attention. I am also doing bullet catch 22. I was bothered by using a cigarette lighter to create fire in one effect then using matches to create fire for another, so I made some modifications. Now I start the show with a modified version of bullet catch but stop momentarily to do !Warning. The effect looks like I am going to do bullet catch - then as an afterthought I discuss dangers of fire and do the !Warning effect, then go straight into bullet catch using the "same" lighter. The !Warning gets them off guard then when the bullet catch is done the audience is left really reeling. Sorry to be so fague about the lighters and gimick, I'm never really sure what you can say. It took me about 3 hours to combine the effects into one illusion, and about $1.00 but it really made it feel natural. Anyway, if you are interested in the combo, PM me. If you have these two items I can tell you what I did to combine them.
