Fantasio's Appearing Candle
Type: stage, parlor
Skill Level: 
Retail Price: $25
Effect: A tall tapered candle (white or red) appears at you fingertips.
The candle may then be lit.
Performance Time: This is a QUICKIE, a flash production of a
realistic looking candle.
Reset Time: Under a minute
Angles: 
Quality: As with most Fantasio products, this is well made. A little
care on your part will help this last a good long time. BE WARY THOUGH...Most
Fantasio Products will DAMAGE easily if not handled correctly. Also after
repeated uses, these do have a tendency to wear out, and lose their SNAP.
Dr. Mitch: This is a great and flashy production of a candle. It eliminates the old fashioned body steal (I've done it) and it happens without the cover of a silk. Performed in a FORMAL act this is quite classy. It packs small and plays elegant. For those of you who have not seen Lance Burton's act using these...its gorgeous...see it. I have a few, I keep them around for the right occasion.
Mike Maione: This prop is not for me. I don't argue it's clever and well made. But, it's a flash. It needs to be incorporated into a routine with lots of other effects. Ideal for the stage but not great anywhere else. Too close a viewing and you'll see tell tale "candy cane" shadows that give away the construction. Also it's fragile and when extended it doesn't have much body. I pass on this one.
