Does anyone know of any card effects that require or CAN use a lighter? I think I may try and work it into angle zero. Please post your ideas.
Thank You!

well, for angle zero, you can pretend to burn the ripped corner, except have a piece of tissue palmed, so that you can show the flames. then proceed to do the reveal.
I've been using Sylvester Pitch to introduce a lighter, via a sleight-of-hand production. If you're not familiar with it, it's called "the inertia pass" also, if that rings a bell. I've been using Gregory Wilson's routine called "Toll-free", which is from his "On The Spot" DVD, published by Penguin. There's also a "Sylvester Pitch", by Sylvester the Jester, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvester_the_Jester . Wilson produces a wrist watch (which in his case, he's probably stolen from a spectator!) with misdirection of producting two coins. You could substitute other small objects. But, I steal a lighter from my pocket instead.
Another idea that comes to mind is to hold out a lighter under cover of holding a deck in mechanics grip. A la Michael Ammar's coin production in "Complete Introduction to Coin magic". (Basically just hold a coin under the deck). Do another card trick with the lighter held out. Find something simple. Hell, even do a flourish, a kick out. Or go Penn and Teller style and give away a cheesey card trick, to give misdirection to producing the lighter!
So, ok... You've got a lighter out now. What can you do? How about Jay Sankey's "In a Flash" ( http://www.sankeymagic.com/detail.aspx?ID=48025 ) where the plot is this: A quarter burns through the deck down to a signed card which has been buried in the deck. Speaking of Sankey and lighters, he's got a presentation (but no explanation) for a lighter production in "The Art of Sleight Of Hand" (which is a pretty inspiring DVD as it is), which might give you ideas.
A lighter's in my pocket, and I feel like it's wasted if I don't use it either
Have fun! I'm curious to see what everyone comes up with!

How heavily do you want the lighter to be featured?
Effects that use a lighter briefly as a means to affect the 'magic moment', include...
Greg Wilson's 'off base', a great broken & restored wine glass effect. On the spot, vol.2
Any kind of flash paper production. Coins, candies, decks... See David Stone's work, and Greg Wilsons stuff.
Jean Luc Bertrand's 'no smoking' is a fantastically visual routine using lighters.
David Stone's 'quit smoking' routine is very cool, featuring lots of magic!
