Flash paper playing cards

[Billywiz]

Hey guys/girls, some magic stores are selling flash paper that looks like the face of a playing card, usually an ace or court card. They don't come with routines, but I do have a few ideas . I was wondering if any of the brilliant minds here have any routine ideas of there own for the use of these flash paper cards?....Thoughts?

Put a flash paper card on the face of another card (like a double lift, and light the flash paper card on fire for an instant change.

That's a good idea but I don't think it would be practical because of the texture, size and thickness of the flash paper. It might work if you use double stick tape and tape the card and paper together.

I believe they are on magicgeek.com, bu they are pricey. It's like $10 for a pack of 10.

then you end up with tape on the card

that doesnt seem too bad, seeming that  you can get a pad for $15

The price is worse then I thought http://www.magicgeek.com/flash-playing-card-2498.html

You could make it burn with the paper by slightly lifting it off with your finger or you could just remove it afterwards.

Why tape them together? It's not like your handing the card out or anything.

I don't know if doing a double lift with flash paper would be easy and/or realistic.

Thanks for the responses guys, the colour change idea is the obvious use for the flash card. I've done that effect and it gets a good responce, but it does leave a burn mark on your real card, I've also used them for going from card effects to coin routines. I force a card that matches the flash card and have the spectator put a little magic into there chosen card anyway they want ( blow on it, sprinkle magic dust, kiss it etc. etc. ). I'll have the flash card on the bottom of the deck with a double backer second from the bottom. Return the spectators card to the deck and make some cuts, controll the double backer and flash card to the top of the deck. Next do a double lift ( takes practise to get it looking right ). Show the spectator that there card came to the top of the deck, lift off just the flash card and leave the double backer on the deck ( deck goes into my pocket at the same time palm a coin from the same pocket ). Move flash card to hand with the palmed coin. Now I'll say to the spectator, lets see if the card you put magic into is really magic..light the flash card and produce the coin. Tell the spectator there card truly was magic and go into a coin routine.

That sounds perfect!! I'd love to do that, but it sounds very nifty and having to do it almost - perfect everytime
