Palm cigarette. Roll flash paper into shape of cigarette. Light it as if it were a a real cigarette (not actuallyin your mouth though!). Produce plamed ciggy from within the burtst of flames.

I must ask again........I admit I have a fear of flashpaper.....can you hold it in your bare fingers and light it without burning yourself?

My understanding is that it burns to quick to actually burn your fingers so you are fine.....but you know how fear is???????

Well, if it's any gauge... a sheet from a small flash pad crumple into a ball in the palm of your hand WILL NOT burn you. I do the effect of making a coin appear this way, and so far, I've avoided the burns unit ;)

Well if you light it in your hand it is kinda hot, so thats why I advised not lighting it in your mouth, also I would just keep it away from your face in general really. If you have it in 'cigarette possition' and let go of it at just the right moment though it is quite fine.

I like Tom Mullica's tapes. But since I do not smoke, they just collect dust.

Good man. Don't smoke. You can practise sleights with many other different objects
