Just a few notes to remember and forgive if this has been mentioned in earlier reviews; don't douse
the thing with too much fuel. One tablespoon, just before going on stage is plenty.
To
ignite properly, initiate the ignitor just as you open the book, the cover open just about 1". As
soon as it catches, open it fully and you can keep it flaming safely for no longer than 5 seconds
(which really is a long time) and then close the book. You will be able to get one more, but
smaller, ignition after that but if you plan on doing that, don't wait for too long or the remaining
fuel will evaporate.
Also, ditch the book after your show, especially if working with
children. They want to see it and play with it. Not a kid's toy by any means.
