Sound if a fresh bottle opening

I am trying to emulate the sound of a new bottle of Gin being opened for a stage play that takes place in the 50's. It's a pint bottle, and the actor takes the pint out of his pocket and asks his friend to share a new bottle of Gin with him, then proceeds to twist open the bottle. I really want the bottle to 'snap' when he opens the cap.

I have gluing a Perforated Paper Tax Stamp seals over the cap with glue - looks great, but no snap. I tried using a technique of dipping the cap in unflavored gelatin as a faux Celon Band, which is also supposed to 'snap' when opened. Nothing - and the cap was crazy hard to get off with this one! Any ideas?

Question: Product Recommendations

Hi, I had this idea and wanted to know if it was feasible, and if so what do I purchase? I tried a magic subreddit but am not getting any traction so I thought I would try here:

I want to do a dance routine where I have a small flame in one hand to punctuate a particular word.

I’m in HI and the first issue is getting my hands on flash paper. Both Costume Closet and Zuke’s have closed, and several online magic supply shops say they won’t ship flash paper. Maybe Amazon?

Second, repeated ignition. Ideally I would like something that goes around my wrist that I can activate one-handed. I plan to wear a blazer to hide it, but am open to other options. I plan to use the fire at least five times for the duration of the song. Maybe something with an electrical component that’s rechargeable?

Third, I would like something rugged. Since this is a dance routine, whatever the thing is needs to be able to stand up to being jostled with aggressive hand movements without the flash paper falling out and the trick failing.

Lastly, cost. I don’t have a lot of time and money to RND, my deadline is late November to be ready by early December. My budget for this is around $200, including the flash paper.

Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Mound of Illicit Powder

Hi,

We are putting on a stage show and need to fashion a mound of powder into a solid (so it doesn't fly everywhere). It'll be presented under a cloche so doesn't need to be massive but hoping for a fairly realistic looking pile. I'm completely new to any kind of prop making so easy to make and full instructions would be brilliant! Thanks so much in advance!

Radioactive fluid

My husband was given this tea infuser that he doesn't care for, and i'm looking to turn it into a prop for my Fallout TTRPG campaign for my players.

i'm looking to create an opaque liquid, either pale blue or green, and have some kind of glow or light source within (probably something i'd put in just before giving it to the players). ideally i'd like the liquid to remain stable over time, but if not i can wash and redo it next time i show it off

Thanks for any suggestions!

Cheap, realistic fake meat/food.

Need to make some gross looking permanent food decor. Looking to do raw meat slabs, preserve jars, fruit, etc. Has anyone created anything like this successfully? I have access to foam, air dry clay, resin, silicone etc, but I’m trying to be budget friendly. I already plan to do some larger “cuts” with foam board, but this won’t get me the shiny, wet look I’m looking for.

Product recommendation for rubber axe head

I’m planning on making a prop fire axe for an upcoming production. The handle will be cast from a combo of liquid plastic and reinforced expanding foam, but I want the head to be rubber/silicone tinted silver.

I don’t want it floppy, just soft enough that it won’t injure an actor. I was thinking 40-60 shore would probably do the trick, but I’m trying to settle on a good product that will get me this as well as being able to be effectively colored and able to take paint after.

Any recommendations?
