Finally--a gimmick that will ignite Flash Cotton without the use of cigarettes, matches or a flame. The clever device can be used at anytime in your act. After showing his hands empty, the performer produces a startling flash from a seemingly empty hand. This is a new and safe method for lighting flash cotton at close range. The Finger Flasher is easily concealed in your hand. May be used in the left or right hand. Just slip your index and middle fingers into the attached clip, strike down with the thumb and a blast of fire is produced from the apparently empty hand. The Finger Flasher is sturdily constructed, painted flesh color. The flint will last for over 2000 performances, and it may be easily changed. This is a two finger model for greater stability. An industrial flint wheel is used to create the sparks, thus lighting the nitro-cellulose fiber. This unit is not intended to project a fireball, but simply produces a flame from within your hand. The Finger Flasher is not a trick in itself; it is the added touch to any effect. This will add a touch of real magic to your performances. The professional touch! Many performers do buy more than one, which enables them to produce flashes of fire at different times during the act.
