Shadow Tips

Learn to cast your own shade with these shadow-tastic tips!

Casting a shadow can be an art form, you know.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

• Use a strong source of light to cast a dramatic shadow. We recommend a bright spotlight or a well-placed candle.
• Cook an eggplant in a cast-iron skillet to create a perfectly round, perfectly imperfect shadow.
• Practice your 'shadow-fu' by mastering the ancient art of tai chi. A good shadow can only be achieved by a calm and focused mind.
