I bought this (yes Pegasus, I did pay for this) and got it in the mail two days ago. I had time to check it out and man, this thing is freakin' awesome!
As seen here: http://ahouseoffire.com/p59p.html If you like this type of an effect then you will not be disappointed with this. Works like a charm and so far, the reactions in my test runs with my family were really-really good! I mean, my boys sat there in astonishment when the matches when up in flames and my hands were not touching the matchbox. The basic effect is you slide open the tray of a matchbox, show the match sticks inside the tray and set it down with the tray remaining open. Then whenever you are ready with the power of your mind you can make the matches go up in flames without touching the box. You will need to purchase matchboxes as you can't reuse them. I got some at Giant Eagle, I paid $1.69 or $1.39 for 10 boxes. About .14cents - .17cents per performance not including the flash paper. For me, I feel it's definitely worth it for the final effect. From what I can tell what you get is very well made. And those who have ordered from Rick before know what great customer service Rick provides if anything goes wrong with your item or if you have any questions. You are supplied with everything to do the effect except the flash paper. Can you do this strolling? You can be partly prepared but you will not be able to stroll from table to table and reset. Reset takes probably only a minute, maybe less, but you wouldn't be able to do it with people around. RNK

You forgot to mention the kicker ending. You point at the smoke alarm and sprinkler system and at your command (more or less) they both activate.

The question loomed, "Will I be able to use this a lot, especially inside?". Well, in all honesty, I am pleasantly surprised the minimal amount of smoke it actually puts off. Seriously, you would think that having 20 or so match sticks going up in flames then put out would generate a ton of smoke. But it really doesn't! Yes- a little but not what you would think. However, the one thing I have found is that the "Green" produced matches smell a lot worse than the matches not made from "green" (environmentally friendly) material!

I will be using this at a corporate Christmas gig December 3rd. It's inside at a convention center so I will report back if I tripped any fire alarms/sprinkler system using this, lol!

Is there a performance video on youtube or something? My computer won't play the downloaded file from the website.

Even more amazing than the spontaneous combustion was the fact that clicking the link to that website made me go back in time to 1998 when websites looked like that.
Incredible. |

I bought this with out seeing a dem and the fact the website is outdated I trust r n k judgment.
I manged to watch the demo on VLC player eventually on my iPhone the demo is also very outdated. But the general idear sounds like a worker What I will say is that so far the customer service was outstanding ric was always prompt to reply. Also I live in the U.K. There was no charge on post it's normal at least 20 dollars extra from other shops It probably won't be here for another week but onece it arived I will do a review and also make a video dem of it so you can see what it is your buying I strangely have high hopes for this. Kind regards Kieron johnson |

I bought the popcorn thing once and the entire box caught on fire in the living room. I traded it for the flaming pickles.

This has been one of my favorite fire purchase effects ever! I also really like Fire Kit from Martin! So fun and easy to use. Both these effects are super easy to do. The quality of the PSC gimmick is superior. RNK

If you are having problems watching the demo, Kieron is right, download the VLC player and it will work.

Once to earn my money and then once again when trying to spend it... Just a philosophy I have (even though I know I probably could have watched it by now with the time spent writing these posts lol) |
