Hey guys!
So I'm a junior and I'm asking a girl to prom in about a month. I wanted to do a really cool magic trick as my proposal for two reasons: I want to stand out and do something cool and different than other people, and also the best proposal gets free tickets!
I want this proposal to be really flashy, so I'm going to try and use flash paper for this trick. I will basically use the flash paper to make a rose (or roses) appear. I then want to do the same thing, but with a small poster that I will make, which says "Prom?" on it.
Do any of you have any advice on how to go about doing this trick? I would appreciate advice on several things:
- Normally when I use flash paper, I use something small that can stay hidden in my hand. I will be unable to do this, however, with objects as large as a rose and a poster. Any advice on where to hide a rose and poster on my body so that I could magically procure it behind the flash of the flash paper? I was thinking I could wear a jacket and stuff the poster behind the zipper and a rose within my sleeve. I just don't know if I would be able to grab the objects quick enough while they are in this position if that makes any sense
- I think procuring several roses would be better than just one rose, but I am already having difficulty hiding just one rose (as seen in the first bullet). Any suggestions for these two bullets?
- Do you guys think that flash paper would be sufficient in hiding the action of pulling a poster out of my jacket? If not, again, is there somewhere else I could hide it and easily pull it out from?
I appreciate everyone that reads through this whole thing and gives me advice that I can use!
