Effect

Ignite is a portable, self-contained flash paper device designed for magicians who want to add dramatic fire effects to their performances. The trick allows performers to produce or vanish small objects—such as coins, rings, or even sponges—with a sudden burst of flame. The device resembles a Zippo lighter but includes a built-in dispenser for flash wool (a safer alternative to traditional flash paper). When activated, it creates a bright flash, making objects appear or disappear in an instant.

Full Details

Ignite is a utility tool rather than a standalone trick, meaning it can be adapted into various routines. Key features include:

Built-in dispenser: Holds up to 150 strands of flash wool, keeping it organized and mess-free.
Safety-focused: The enclosed design reduces risks compared to loose flash paper.
Portable: Fits in a pocket, making it suitable for walk-around or stage magic.
Versatile: Works for productions, vanishes, or transformations (e.g., turning a silver coin into a copper one).
Includes a detailed guide: Covers techniques, maintenance, and performance tips.

Who Should Consider the Trick

Performers who use fire effects: Ideal for those who want a cleaner, more controlled alternative to traditional flash paper.
Social media magicians: The visual flash works well on camera.
Close-up and stage magicians: Adds a dramatic moment to routines.
Beginners to fire magic: The device simplifies the process, making it accessible.

Difficulty

Ignite is easy to use but requires practice for timing and misdirection. The device handles the mechanics, but performers must rehearse:

Loading and dispensing flash wool correctly.
Syncing the flash with sleight of hand (e.g., palming a coin).
Safety precautions (e.g., ensuring wool is dry for reliable ignition).

What people are saying about Ignite

AlakazamMagicUK says...

Ignite is more of a tool rather than an actual trick but it's by Orban from Gentleman's Magic. It's a way to make a ring vanish using essentially a thumb flasher but it's in a lighter.
