Magic Tricks

I have not used this yet since I have just ordered the flash cotton which is required to operate the device. I assume it will work as described. There are two points regarding the device which I don’t think are clear in the advertising. Admittedly this is a SansMinds project so that is not surprising however Penguin could have added a note to their ad copy. This device uses a small sliver of flash cotton to ignite either the flash paper The device has to be loaded with this flash cotton between each use. I feel on the promotional video it gives the impression that you would use this in a walk around setting and nearly everything used in a walk around setting is done multiple times during an evening and requires nearly instant and invisible reset. Practically speaking this needs to be reset out of sight of the spectator. It does not take an especially long time but I can’t imagine using this multiple times during a strolling gig. It is most appropriate for a single use parlor setting. In addition of course make sure you have ordered flash cotton in addition to flash paper.
