I ask out of curiousity. I ask in the general section as most of the general magicians here are card magicians and card manipulators. The reason is because I hear alot of thunder about cardistry as a performance art. Yet as I searched the internet and forums for actual PERFORMANCES of it I see...

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone had any info on products that let you produce fire from your hands at "will". Or the effect that david blaine once used to light cigarettes with his first two fingers being lit on fire.

To honor one of the most "magical" films to ever come out. Heres to you Fight Club. For those that dont know much about it. Fight Club was a love it or hate it enterprise. It went straight to the heart of the schizophrenic nature of society, not only exposing it but positively wallowing...
