Zig Zag Cig Dimensions

[Brett H]

I'm in the process of making a routine for Zig Zag Cig...but with pencils.

I know JapanMagic has done it, but I have an idea that's less of a stumper but leads more into a part of a routine than being a stand alone trick.

All I'm looking for is for how long the cigarette is as well as how long a trisected part of the cigarette, assuming all 3 parts are the same length.

Thanks in advance!

I dont know off hand but google is really good if you just type 'standard cigarette dimensions' or something. I've done it for playing cards, business cards CDs etc

The full foam cig is just about 3.25 inches.

The three segments are just about 1 inch each.

When lined up the three pieces are shorter than the whole.

When I searched google, my head nearly exploded when I saw that typical cigarettes come in FOUR different lengths. As a non-smoker--actually I have never smoked. Blew my mind.
Ironic because I worked with a TON of smokers.
I always thought they were all the same length.


Awesome, thank you!

But boy that's quite a bit shorter than I thought.

My idea was to have a pencil turn into 3 tiny pencils. The issue then became:
Do I get pencils with erasers to make it look like a standard wood pencil?
Or focus on getting eraser-less pencils in case if I can find one with a neat design all around.

Looks like if I go with the eraser-pencil, what pencil that is left will be almost irrelevant--I'll be showing off an eraser at that point.

So wooden Hello Kitty pencils it is!

And to merge both of your responses together, we are apparently looking at a 'king size' cigarette.

Thanks Google!

Thanks again! Simon and John

I have posted my routine for using Zig Zag Cig with three sharpened pencils on the sister website. There is also a routine for using a bill which is not my own.

Sounds like a good idea. You can do a lot with a pencil on a small scale...
