Abe Creekmore made some good quality and interesting magic. This item I wanted to really like, but although I can make it work it is not working the way I expect.

What I expect from this type of candle is you press a release and then the candle slowly falls down. Something like Chaplin’s Candle by Collectors’ Workshop. However, try as I may this one does not appear to go down on its own. You have to use a lever from beneath the tray – it can still all be done out of view, but you need to be holding the tray.

What is perplexing is that there is a spring mechanism which you’d think would drive the motion, but I think that is primarily do dampen the fall and not to activate it. But reading the instructions that is not clear at all.

Anyway, your mileage may vary and maybe I’m missing something really obvious, but as far as I can tell, when you release the catch the candle will be stationary until you pull a lever under the tray.

(Notice: does not include lighter fuel, flash bills or lighter.)

Effect: THE FALLING CANDLE is a Magician’s prop used to ”accidentally” burn borrowed items such as signed notes or currency. The Torn and Restored Paper Currency Routine is a good example. Remember to palm a FAKE BILL with the same value as the one that you borrow. The larger the denomination, the more impact on the audience.

(Notice: Includes: Printed Instructions.)
