FLOURESCENT PAINT, GLOW-PAINT, & SPECIAL EFFECTS : FIRE ,LIGHTNING, FOG, LAZER LIGHTS, 2-FIRE LIGHTS

 Here I am doing a CHALK-TALK on white paper with the SPECIAL EFFECTS of REAL FIRE. In the middle photo you will see a 4 inch white bar above the drawing.  In that white bar are lights and 5 ( $1.00  ) soldering irons to which the FLASH PAPER is attached. It is real fire!!  No ! the paper has never caught fire . And no fire or ashes ever hit the floor.  
  These photos were done with a special camera very quickly as the fire fell.   And if you ask, "Did the carpet catch fire ?"  The answer is , "NO, it did not catch fire! "  The reason the carpet did not catch fire is,   I used a special kind of  "MAGIC PAPER" that magician use called: "FLASH PAPER "   ( available in most Magic Shops for  $3.00 for 20 small sheets.)   This paper is perfect for Chalk-Talks because it burns as it falls about 4 ft. ( the width of my painting )  and then it completely evaporates .  No fire , or even ashes ever hit the floor.     
    In the second photo above you can see ( if you look closely a white bar about 4 in. wide above the drawing.  Inside the 4 in. white bar are special lights and I have a $ 1.00 cheap soldering iron.)  When I push a bottom on my control box the soldering  iron heats up and the tip of the  flash paper attached to the soldering  iron with a few inches of thin wire ignites,   causing the paper to burn and fall at the same time .  It take 1 1/2 minutes for the Flash Paper it ignite and fall with this Soldering Iron.  This is a very dramatic effect for $ 1.50 .  I have 5 soldering irons in that white above my board.  So here we have 5 balls of fire falling. THIS IS DRAMATIC  !!
