So I purchased Smoke 2.0 and French Kiss. Having an idea, I decided to put them together. But unfortunately, I cannot place the card in my mouth without accidentally releasing smoke...

Any tips on what I should do?
 
You might have better odds doing them in the reverse order, maybe gesture to your mouth with the gimmick and take in a little smoke, and then gesture to their mouth to complete the action, then do the kiss?

Its a good idea but im not sure how effective it'll be
 
Someone has done it before, on YouTube. But I couldn't perform him the way he did, what he did was to hit the card into his mouth while it is closed to prevent the smoke from being released. I just felt that it was really awkward so I didn't want to follow that method.

This was the video:
 
Justin Flom does this effect also. He's posted a few videos on his YouTube channel showing this. Maybe watch his working of it to get an idea. Good luck!

Thanks CWhite! I was looking for it on YouTube and didn't realise this was the video you were talking about! Okay, so this is how he did it...

But I feel that Justin and the video I provided (his name is Angel...?) lack the intimacy that Wayne has when he performed French Kiss. Justin's performance felt really rushed, but I think there's a reason for it like maybe it was due to time constrained or something along those lines.

I see how Justin did it so that gave me a really good idea how I can use the Sharpie to my advantage. Thanks again, CWhite!
