I'm not aware of a detailed project on the use of flash paper. Well, Jay Sankey has put together a collection of effects on a DVD using Flash paper. Anyone that's used flash paper knows the pizazz it can add to magic effects.

The DVD starts out with Jay going over the cautions of using flash paper. What I liked was that Jay wasn't just just citing off a legal disclaimer, but genuinely wants folks to be careful and he offers safety tips, how to carry it, store it, etc.

Jay's been traveling the world since he was a teenager, releasing creations since 1980. So when does a project you get the benefit of that experience. He doesn't just teach trick, but you get performance tips and inside information that can only come from a working pro, to help you be a better performer.

The DVD is a winner. It's loaded with commercial, killer effects that are enhanced by the use of flash paper. THE PHOENIX EFFECT was worth the price of the DVD ( it's true, try it on an audience and they will think they saw real magic ).

Jay also has the flash pads available:

Here are just some of the effects on the DVD:

THE PHOENIX EFFECT/ A spectator's own initials vanish in a burst of fire and reappear on the back of a thought of card! Magic + mental-ism + fire = COMPLETE INSANITY!

WHOLEHEARTED/ The PERFECT effect to perform for women! You tear a paper heart in half, vanish one half in flash of fire and then have the heart appear, completely restored IN THE SPECTATOR'S HAND!

FIREFLY/ A CRAZY VISUAL two coin transposition with a borrowed and marked coin!

MELTDOWN/ A piece of tissue paper initialed by the spectator visibly melts down through the top of a coffee cup! Easy to do too!

SIGNED, SINGED & DELIVERED/ A true "Sankey classic." Two initialed pieces of paper change places under the fairest possible conditions! And when we say you 'end clean,' we mean SQUEAKY CLEAN! Featuring an inspired structure and stunning visuals!

BLAZE OF GLORY/ The signed card appears in a ball of fire. (Try beating that!) Jay also shares a brand new handling for this memorable routine!

Thanks for the review. This is one that I was in two minds about buying, but it sounds like there are some great ideas on here!

Thank you for the review.

This is a sweet DVD... Here's another review from my September Newsletter: Spontaneous Combustion.

Long Live Sankey Magic!

I'm not seeing this on Sankey's website for some reason.

His Monster Sale is on, a lot of items are temporarily missing. The missing items are either out of stock temporarily or being saved for another crazy deal announcement this week.

Might have went up in smoke? (not a good joke I know)

:)

Here it is:

The Spontaneous Combustion DVD is only $12.50 today during Jay's 'Monster Sale'.

Grabbed a copy during the sale. Great value for the money.

I did too, but I paid $14.99 for it.
