Tricks with fire have an unusual appeal of their own. A magician who produces fire from his bare hands somehow seems more dramatic and spectacular than one producing a Ball or Silk because of its dangerous nature. One of the several fire tricks that can be used as a novel touch in your act is the ''Flames at Finger Tips'' effect.
The performer passes his fingers through a Candle flame one at a time, and the fingers' tip catches fire and burns with a large flame as if they were Candles. The effect is made possible by the use of a special Metal Gimmick which fits on your fingers. Any fire trick requires handling care and precaution and is unsuitable for minors or absolute beginners. Used properly, it adds a very dramatic effect to your show.
For example, as a touch, you could pick up the fire from a Candle on your table, transfer the flame to your fingertip, and use your flaming finger to light a Cigarette. Flames At Finger Tips Gimmicks use ordinary Petrol or liquid Lighter fluid and are supplied as a set of four Gimmicks, (one for each finger of either hand) and come to you complete with instructions.
