Does anybody know how Mayoral prepares his

silk for flash silk to cane? I have tried with a lighter fluid but no matter how much fluid I pour on the silk it gets caught by fire.

Hi Bojan,



I don’t believe it is lighter fluid at all. There was a guy at FISM who had a booth with all kinds of fire stuff. Stuff you could never do in the US



He was selling special stuff that you drench a silk with. It burns quite brilliantly and will burn itself out without ever burning the silk. The mixture was his secret.



I know that high grade clear alcohol will act similarly but is quite volatile and subject to quick evaporation. Yes, that is the residual of a mispent youth



My only reccommendation is to search a solution out from a professional or fulltime retailer. Don’t take chances because you could get severely burned.



Buy what the pros use!
