Just wondering how you guys would get black light because I've heard that the Vipers, Tigers and Ghosts look really nice under black light.

Should I get some black filter paper? And where would I get some?

I think these would add a nice touch to my flourishing videos.

I love my ghost deck!! lol

Edit: Woo! 400th post! lol

Black lights is actualy a type of ray lower down on the colour spectrum then usual colours ... you wont be able to generate it through i filter ... you have to buy a "black light" they are also commonly known as Ultra Violate or UV ...

Won't the UV light like kill me? lol

Seriously...

No, its not like the sun's rays as those UV Rays are invisible.

You can also get special pens to wirte things that only show up under a Black Light, you could do cool things with that as well

I think that you can buy them in Argos and Maplin (I think) among a few. I was going to get one for fun to make my room look cool, but I didn't

Some gadget shops sell UV bulbs which fit standard lamp holders - I bought 2 for £1 from a gift & gadget shop in Gt.Yarmouth in September so they're not expensive.

From a scientific point of view, I must disagree. UV Rays are always invisible lol.

Thanks for the info. I checked the net around for black light bulbs and I think many electronic shops should sell them.

hmm, you always could go to a tanning salon to mess around with your cards

UV rays are invisible to the naked eye - the reason that some UV bulbs look purple is that they emit light in the visible part of the spectrum as well.

I think.

Anyway, I want to try it as I have a blacklight somewhere but I can't find it now

ooh it's like a magic forum and science lesson all in one.

I Saw a vid of the black tigers when they first came out which was partly shot under black light and they did looked fantastic.

Most cards will look slightly "cooler" under the UV as most things white glow an lovly shade of blue!

by **ace of kev** » Dec 15th, '05, 14:11

Its the white that looks brighter, so any cards would look cool really

get down a ravers shop and buy a UV cannon!!
and yes, a ghost deck looks amazing under UV.
i was at a juggling convention recently and someone set up a UV room so i broke out some ghosts and did some fans and stuff, then for some reason thought it would be a good idea to try some vanishes... first off, a backpalm, it does not work when the card GLOWS! ah well, it made for some hilarity.

by **stevebo** » Dec 15th, '05, 18:02

Haha.

I thought the Ghost decks would look fairly nice. I'll try and get black light on Friday or something, or maybe I'll head to lakeside and find something.

by **katrielalex** » Dec 15th, '05, 18:19

Ghost deck does look pretty good under UV...I'll see if I can get a photo up.
