Does anyone know where to get light butterflies or faeries to float with IT? Or glow products that would light up in a dark club, but light enough to float?

I saw some tiny glow sticks in one of those gumball-type machines at Toys R Us. It was only about an inch and a half long and 1/8 inch wide. You could probably float that. As for butterflies, etc, maybe take a look in your local Michaels or AC Moore, they might have something that suits you.

The gift shops in eastern Tennessee are loaded with all types of toy and small fairy dolls. Try the tourist shops.

Just a question -- why do you want to float a light object? Wouldn't floating a heavy object be more impressive?

You can make props that looks very heavy but they are very light. Take a Table Tennis ball and paint it with metallic color and you have a heavy looking ball...

With the IT I have, I can only float light objects. Has anyone seen any glow in the dark playing cards or something to that nature for hummingbird effect?

I saw a magic dealer who sold little LED lights that you spin and it looks like a little flying saucer. Pretty cool. I shoulda bought one when I had the chance.

You can always get glow in the dark paint and paint the object.

Also, I think Jim Pace has a light up UFO on the market.

I just purchased some realistic butterflies at Wal-Mart a couple of days ago in the crafts section for the same thing! They come on these little wire things...you can just take those off though.

Hank Lee still carries Steve Dusheck's "Wunderbar".

At $10.00 you can't go wrong.

I like the Wunderbar a lot. It can be hooked up like a cigarette and do the Fearson cig routine.

How about causing a straw to rise out of a bottle.
