Hey everybody,
I am here in search of some ideas to take to work with me. I have been into glass blowing for several years now, and I have been into magic my entire life. The glass that I work with is borosilicate (pyrex), and it is extremely durable. Most of the stuff that I make is very hard to break. So that being said, I want to make some glass magic tricks. So if you have any ideas for any gimmicks or tricks that may require or could be made out of glass, please let me know. If I like your idea, I will gladly make it worth your while. Thanks.

I said in another thread a couple days ago that a glass card clip would be cool. Similar to the impossible bottles, it would be a talking piece for a desk.

I might actually buy this kind of card clip. The problem though, as I see it, is that the glass would not be very bendable so you could not mess around with the tightness. That means that if you didn't make it tight enough, that piece is wasted. Another problem I see is that I am not sure that you could "blow" that kind of glass. It might have to be glass that is melted and then encased in a cast.

I don't know much about glass though. Overall, you have my support for a clip.

I didn't mean to use S.G, more like an ornament. Imagine your most prized pack of cards (whether rare like jerrys or bikes signed by a bunch of people) in a clear glass card clip on your desk, table or shelf. I just think it would look nice.
