Being that my full time occupation is fireman, I was wondering wht you all thought were the best tricks involving fire, maybe I could burn the station down and see if my senior officers were impressed by that trick.

Practice makes perfect, first you get to practice fire magic - then they get to practice putting fires out

There are loads of pyro effects out there but not all of them are good, in fact very few are!

Fire from palms is effective in a stage setting however close up it's a lot more tricky not getting busted!

Then there is everything from small flash ball effects involving cards, magic wands and such like to escapology effects involving explosions and or lots of fire!

As I say, some are very effective and pack a big wow factor even when you know how they are done but some leave a lot to be desired so choose carefully! Anyone on this board will tell you I love my fire magic and they'll also tell you how I've had my fingers burnt (forgive the pun ) in my search for good effects!

Put a cigarette out in your bosses jacket, or every time you slide down the pole set off a sheet of flash paper. Push a couple of match heads inside a cig and when your mate lights up and it goes up in flames tell them that smoking causes fires

In a show, chemicals other than flash paper/wool etc can be used to create fire. See Blood Feast of the Sun. Still use it occasionally.
