After being suitably inspired by the David Stone lecture tour and the real secrets of magic DVD I bought at said lecture, I thought I would try out some stuff at my local weatherspoons last night. I was eager to try the flash deck production as an opener. Being really enthusiastic for a really super eye popping visual start to my routine the small ball of flash I had prepared ended up being about the size of a orange by the time I arrived. (you can see where this is headed!!). So after scoping the room for promising marks, I settled on a table seating two couples. After getting myself sorted I strolled over and introduced myself, picked up a napkin and balled it up and you can imagine what came next (needless to say I looked a bit like something out of a tom and jerry cartoon) It worked a treat, they were very impressed if not a little scared by the sudden appearence of my cards (though to be fair I could have produced a fruit machine from the size of the flash). The rest of the routine went well and I went home a happy man.

Alas I woke up this morning with the fingers of someone who has been smoking roll-ups for fifty years, so my question is this...........is there any safe way of removing this brown staining from my fingers?? I say "safe way" as someone in work has just recommended "dip your hands in paint thinner till they start to hurt" but this doesn't sound to appealing. Any help would be appreciated!

I would recommend using lemon juice or vinegar with a little soap should do the trick.

Also if you are going to use a huge flash ball (well ok a large one) thenperhaps priming your hand with a thin layer of vaseline will protect your hand and minimise staining!!

Cheers for the tips guys, although I expect some funny looks when I pick up some lemon juice and vasoline on my way home lol!!

LOL, all you need of the vaseline is literally a thin application, something that is going to protect your hand momentarily but not so much that you put grease smears on everything!!

As for stains I can't say I've tried lemon juice et al.... as a smoker I just use a nail brush and fairy up liquid and scrub!! result - hands that do magic feel as soft as your face & aren't stained, with mild greeeeeen, fairy liquid LOL ***retreats to a corner thinking his hangover from the wkend clearly hasn't gone yet***
