I do a lot of weddings and at a wedding at the end of this month I have been asked to produce a flower to pin on the groom!
Any ideas? I would prefer not to use flash paper, but I am not sure of any other way I could produce the flower to good effect. Thanks Simon

Think dove productions... that's a possibility.

Why not flash paper? you don't like?? Its a really nice effect.. and at wedding there are always candles near by.. don't need to reach for the stupid lighter...

Be careful because a lot of versions of this have really ugly fake flowers . The one available from Viking Magic looks good : http://www.vikingmagic.com/cgi-bin/dc.pl......options= It the one from Viking comes in your choice of red, white , or pink carnation . I've never tried it , but it would probably be possible to pin this under your coat, attached to a self-lighting match pull . Produce the lit match seemingly from out of thin air, then it turns into a flower . --- Also, use the search engine on the Café for "Appearing Rose" and/or "Flower Production " . You'll probably find some good ideas. I know that Harry Murphy posted a good handling of the Appearing Rose in one of the previous discussions. His was based on a standard bottle production sequence of moves (stealing from a body load under cover of a silk scarf) . If you know the Bob Read bottle production then you know exactly what to do. Just substitute a flower for the bottle. You can produce the full flower, with stem, then twist off or cut off the flower bud to pin on the groom . |

You should try the match to carnation. It is fast and visual plus lets you place it in the tuxedo's breast pocket.
Best of all...no flash paper involved.
As magicians we create what onlookers call magic. If they truly believe in what we have created for them to witness then magic is real!!!

There is a gimmicked affect that allows you to produce many types of things from what appears to be three ungimmicked silks (actually the fabric is a nylon material). The colors are royal blue, pink, and yellow. There is a secret 4th gimmicked piece of material that is not seen to the audience in the handling. You apparently wave each color seperately and then magically produce your item from the silks. This fourth silk can hold a bottle of champaigne, a bouquet of flowers, etc. This would play nicely at a wedding, and the cost is about $30. It requires no body loads.
I purchased this affect from The Magic Corner in Raleigh. Here is the link to the web site http://www.themagiccorner.com/. I tried to find a picture of the affect on his site and couldn't, but I do think he still carries the item. So, if you are interested, you will have to call him & discuss it over the phone. Hope this helps... |

All great ideas but for a single flower to pin to a lapel pin....I might suggest a devil's hank to produce it from under the hank in your hand. Too much apparatus might be odd and out of place. Or some small box, etc

For a small flower you might use the old 6th finger. Never got caught using it.
