Cigarette Puffs smoke out while in hand

Postby Johnny Bravo » Nov 24th, '06, 22:27



I saw this on one of the Marc Spellman DVDs recently, which by the way are thoroughly recommended. :)

It wasn't a routine or anything just a small intercutting clip.

Marc held a lit cigarette in his hand & without any movement that could be seen the cigarette puffed out a cloud of smoke. Can anyone point me in a direction to find out more about this as it seems just a fun little thing to do??? Ta.

I think I figured out a way to do this, but can't try it as:

a) I'm only 15
b) I don't really want to smoke anyway

I could PM you, if you want, but I think Sexton has already.

Fair enough ;)

I suppose it allows you to do a couple of nice effects though, such as the cigarette up the nose or the one you are asking about.

Did Sexton get it sorted for you, by the way?

No he didn't but he gave me a point in a possible right direction, don't think its a big secret that its possible to shove stink or bang things into cigs so when they burn down to it they start to let of a whiff or bang. So maybe it's something along these lines which if so is a shame as it's a case of timing it right & not being able to do it on the spur.

Anyway shall check these out...
