Move your subject away from the background. Set flash for the subject only. Everything else will underexpose. No doubt you will need to play with flash settings to find just the right combonation.

First of all you need a dark background - black, dark brown, etc..
Then get your subject as far from the background as you can.
Light the subject with the main light off to the side (so it does not spill onto the background).
There really is a LOT to this question. But what I said above will work.

Black velvet sucks up light like a black hole.
If your subject is small you don't have to have a big piece.

A less expensive alternative to black velvet is black fleece. It makes great background material and doesn't wrinkle easily.

Fleece is good to, though not as elegant if your background doubles as a cape. I got some bright green fleece a bit ago and it works fantastic as a green screen.
