Hi, i am interested in the use of flash paper. Do you guys recommend it? i have never tried it...
They sale a bunch of items on Penguinmagic. How are the "flash pads" compared to the Flash Paper ? (cause they are the cheapest ;) )

thanks a lot for your help and tips.

:D

(and how do you use it? i mean, for productions? What kind of productions? and other effects?)
bye

Flash pads and flash paper are the same thing but packaged differently. Flash paper tends to be supplied in large folded sheets and is shipped damp for safety reasons. You will need to dry it out before use.

Flash pads are simply smaller pieces of flash paper made up into a pad for convenience.

As to recommending it, it really depends on what you're using it for as it can be a very visual aide to some tricks whilt for others, it's an integral part of the trick (Jay Sankey's In a Flash for example).

There are a number of threads on this site that are relevant to flash products, including paper and I recommend that you search for these.
