Flash Paper ignition

Postby nhmagicman » Jan 13th, '07, 16:24



Hi all....

Just a quick one.... I am thinking of combining a couple of effects (electric touch and third degree burn) and was wondering if flash paper would ignite with the spark generated by electric touch....

Has anyone tried or know if it works? i would try it myself but my Elec touch has yet to arrive.....

Thanks in advance,

Nick

Dont it depend on the paper it self. How much treatment it has had?

Thanks for those replies...

i was going to go with just dried so the audience can write on it, prior to lighting.... can you treat to make more flammable?

The answer to that is yes, But It is a dangerous and silly thing to do and you could lose a hand or an audiance memeber or the likes.

A couple of people on here sell flash paper in there shops they will be able to point you in the right direction

Sadly, I don't think the spark generated by ET is anywhere near strong enough to get flash products going.

However, if it's instant ignition you want:

A fantastic product, which is virtually undetectible.

I have to agree with Seige and I don;t believe that flash paper would ignite from a small spark.

Just to clarify it will not work. Great shame, but there you go.
Some have experimented with other flammables with little or no success.

If I find a way to ignite something I will somehow share this.

not a fan of sigs, so I won't bother adding o..... oh
