of those flame guns used to light barbecue
fires. Another method would be to have
some kind of a container to hold a burning

a big bowl lined with soft sponge. Then the
burning stick is fetched from that bowl and
the stack ditched into the bowl.
Another Possibility

capable of making trick coins. It is

there is not a commercial alternative to
the sticky tape.
Conclusion

could create memories. But then, that is
the way with most magic.
