Hello people, I have recently bought the "Candle Rewind" of Michael P. Lair, with which you make a white candle transform into a 31 inch ribbon.
After the performance of it is there any method to roll the ribbon faster? I take around 10 minutes to roll it... Thanks in advance. |

Errr, ...I had the same problem with the metallic production coils we were all using some years ago. Best method I found was asking my assistant to wind it on the trip home!

Go buy one of those really cheap personal fans with the propeller blades on it. They use 2 'C' batteries. Pull the blade off. Buy a dowel stick. Find the exact center. Drill a hole in the center. Put hot glue on the motor shaft where the blade was. Force the piece of dowel on the shaft.
Now place ribbon on piece of dowel. Start to wind. Press button and wind ribbon. Make sure ribbon is not twisted. Will wind in a few seconds. |

I think they sell a coil winder especially for those tricks at Daytona Magic and possibly other places. I don't have the trick so I don't know if it is the correct accessory you are looking for. Hope this helps!

Michael also sells a coil winder at http://www.lairmagic.com. If it is not on his site yet you can email him at lair@timken.net. I know what you are going through; I coiled mine by hand for years and mylar was the worst.
