Okay ::ahem::
I have a question about 'mystic smoke from the finger tips'
Im looking for something very simple... and this seems simple b/c it's almost "childish" seeming. However, I can't find it anywhere around my area, therefor i have to pay like $6 S&H for something this dumb (so almost $10 for a little tube of kiddy mist).
So, before I do buy it, I have a few questions because I may change my mind about it.... And it's not 'magic' so I dont have to worry about exposure yey~

-What IS it? Like, what comes out of the tube... powder or paste or something? What material or consistancy is it?
-And how do you get it to turn into smoke? Throw it up into the air? or rub it between your fingers or something else?
-What happens if you have it sitting out in the open air?.....will it slowly start degrating until their's none left?
-Lastly, I'm assuming it looses it's effect the second it comes into contact with moisture, right?

I feel dumb asking questions about something so immature and cheap. This stuff seems so simple but ive never seen it before!

So thanks to anyone that can help (and maybe save me wasted money~) =)

Have a look at http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic2581.php which might answer a few of those questions .

If not, is http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic5559.php more like the stuff you're asking about?

Dude the stuff is nasty
very small volumes of very unreal looking smoke are made
it leaves your hands so sticky you would find it impossible to use cards
( actually I'll edge my bets and say any effect )
You need to was your hands afterwards.
This sells in my local toy shop along with
whoopee cushions
fake dog poo
plastic flys
and squirting bars of chocolate
its an under 8's gag
If you can get it local you will be dissapointed
if you pay p&p just for this there will be more smoke
comming out of your ears than your fingers

I've gone over both links given above and would like to shed some light here, if I may...

While I find this item to be useless myself, I've spoken with more than one guy who thinks it is an excellent and useful item.

The problem that is normally sited by these guys is that the performer uses too much of the goo and so has bad experiences with the stuff. After speaking at length, I must say that these few who like the item make strong and compelling arguments for the stuff. In this case, less really is more - if you get this stuff, use a tiny amount because that is all that is needed to garner the effect that you are looking for.

So, going by percentages, I will say that if you decide to buy the item, there is a 99% chance that you'll hate it and wish you'd have spent your money elsewhere.

But, there is always that 1% chance...It's up to you whether or not to take the gamble.

And, again, I just want to make it clear that I, personally, would not waste my money on the stuff.
