Warning by Daniel Garcia

[magicguy147]

alrite, i was doing this trick yesterday and it was really kool when i saw the smoke come out my mouth on my first try but i was wonderin....is it harmful in any way to ur lungs or nose or anything...i know its not like smokin a cigaratte cuz it has no drugs in it but after i did it my first time i kinda caughed a bit...im not gonna be doin every day but just sparingly (b-day parties, if i see some matches with my friends,stuff like that)

[MagicMaddy]

That is what happened to me too and I rarly do it now. If I do it it's because someone says show me a magic trick and I just saw them light a cigarett with a match. As for your question, yes it is harmful that's why ellusinist discontinued the product.

yes...it's very harmful!

[buzzemann]

It´s not the healthiest trick around.... better do another impromtu trick with matches...
if you can prepare it a little, do the reusable used match, looks cewl and is very easy with just few seconds of preparation ( paint head and upper portion of a new match black to make it look like it has been used... put some ashes on it from ashtray to make it look more realistic and leave it in ashtray... when they ask you o do magic trick, take that burnt match out of ashtray and strike it on matchbox to make it burn again...)

or do some match-riddles and after that go to sth. different, more magical...

but do NOT inhale that match crap, it iss veryveryvery harmful, and as you already know, tastes like chicken... the ass of chicken ;)

[magicguy147]

well dang...it really was a kool trick and i was going to show it to my friend today but no body was home and he wouldnt let me...but lets just say u do it twice a month (not sayin i will but just example)how bad would that be

[buzzemann]

Is it healthy to smoke twice a month ? sure not... and that sulfuric stuff in Matches can be a hundred times more dangerous than normal cigarette smoke...

Please... try sth. different... and to be honest, I too did that warning trick sometimes in the past ( and I am smoker ), nevertheless I think its so much more poisenous than cigarettes ( which are in fact pure poison ), that I do not perform it again... It´s not worth risking a lung desease for such a, let´s be honest, weak trick ( it´s not much smoke that you can produce with matches and it does not look like a real thick smoke on deep breath of a cigarette or cigar)...

Maybe an idea:
It´s also weak trick, but even smoke on fingertips is cheap, easy to make yourself if you can´t buy it, and not as dangerous as warning...

Twice a Month is too much if you are not an adult and do exactly know what you are doing ( and even when you are grown up: you never know exactly which chemicals are in Matches from the producing factory )... Ask your Doctor, if he would inhale burning matches, I am sure he says NO way, dude ( and can xactly tell you how harmful it might be) !


Inhaliing twice a month would be as harmful as eating one match a month ;)

[magicguy147]

yeah true...sometimes i just get tired of doing card and coin tricks and want to do some new stuff...just by someone askin me to do a trick and me have nothing on me and just pick up somethin and do a trick

[buzzemann]

Build yourself a raven or a pk ring, get a thumb tip, some silks, some spongeballs... search for some impromptu stuff... there are so many possibilities out there :)

It doesn´t always have to be the spectacular, big stuff: the presentation is the Key... take some old tights and turn them into invisible thread and do some loops stuff, do already forgotten levitations... go to the library and check out old magic books, they have tons of forgotten tricks and routines you could easily get in this century... use your imagination :) peel off slush powder from diapers, check out old keys if they match for a ghost key, bend stuff like keys, coins... start to be creative :) Magic is Arts that has manymanyMANY possibilities :)

Only your imagination is the limit to what is possible

[magicguy147]

thnx
short

[magicguy147]

well i do have a hard time believing that because of all the chemicals in smoke and it has to go thru ur nasal passage and i think ur lungs mite have some of it..but idk

[MagicAce]

well i've done it quite a few times and i'm fine, but i live in hong kong, so matches aren't readily available, so i do it very rarely. but when i do have matches i do it a few times a day, so say, i don't do it for 4 months but on the fifth month i do it 7/8 times... And since the sulphur reacts with the water in your lungs it creates smoke which you then release through your mouth, the sulfur neutralizes. So i don't think its harmful, but ellusionist discontinued this product because there was quite a bit of controversy on it.

[magicguy147]

ohh ok...well its not a trick that im just gonna start doing or practicing for fun....ill only do it in some conditions

[MagicAce]

sorry for ressurecting, but i think just for your health you might want to know, just try it once, if you know how to do it, dont practice it. Avoid doing it as much as possible. just do it when there are a bunch of people and it would really help. Otherwise i would recommend to refrain from using it

[magicguy147]

yes ...i never am goin to practice it...so i only do it maybe at a b-day party if im there or if theres a couple of people around and some matches

well dang...it really was a kool trick and i was going to show it to my friend today but no body was home and he wouldnt let me...but lets just say u do it twice a month (not sayin i will but just example)how bad would that be


It's as bad as when your baby sister finds your deck of cards and

drops it on the ground.

I've experienced this 1 time already :)

ok??????????

[Motaz]

I thought in the warning dvd Daniel Garcia says himself it's not dangerous and that he asked a doctor about it?

The day when i learned this one i did it like 100 times (to practice) And i had a stomache then. I was feeling sick :( So don't overdo it. Do it like 1-5 times in a hour, not more, and that's it.

[MagicAce]

i think 5 times an hour is a bit much, maybe once every hour would be safer.. you wouldn't want that much sulfuric vapor in your system. But then again, it depends on your bodily limits. Safely speaking, i'd recommend not more then once an hour, or once every 2 hours.

[magicguy147]

well i wouldnt even do it that much
