Hey all,

I am on the search for many things. Felt Pads for portable card magic, some coin shells (because I can't seem to find the ones I am looking for, half-dollars and silver morgans), and some Fire Eating Material.

Thanks =D
 
I would say not to learn anything fire related from a book. It is always better to learn the dangerous stuff from a real, actual person. Yes, fire eating isn't super dangerous, but there's tips and tricks of the trade that are probably going to be easily glossed over when reading a book.

I don't know where you're located but I bet there's at least a small burner community in your area. Find them, contact them, ask them to teach you. There's a good chance they'll do it for free and you won't have to worry about missing something.
 
Generally on the topic in hand and the items your inquiring about I recommend searching for a local brick & mortar shop before hitting up the net, this gives you an opportunity to play and feel the props to find what suits you.

Oh, I would completely agree with you besides the fact that right now I live in Japan and speak about 13 phrases of Japanese. Looking for a brick and mortar shop wouldn't be the easiest thing and I have no clue how I would begin asking for most of this stuff =P
