Yes, the mechanism could be dangerous. And the success of how you 'ignite' the mechanism depends on the structure of your hand; if I may term it that way. The ad is right; the bulb will splatter like nobody's business, within a split second. If however, the bulb could crack /splatter less tremendously the effect would sell better - I think Nevertheless, the issue is how you would perfect the 'ignition' naturally. Great idea, but great practice as well.

Hope that helps MagicalDesignPro New user 69 Posts. I purchased this effect and, to be completely honest, was disappointed in it. It's a great idea and has a lot of potential, but because of the way it is designed, it can be difficult and awkward in its use - at least in my opinion. First, the best way to use this would be to put the bulb in a clear plastic ziplock bag. However, because of the size and shape of this prop, once in the bag, it is difficult to get the gimmick to do 'the thing'. Some SLIGHT design modifications, and this would be a great piece.

Hope this helps. DAvId tOnG Loyal user sInGaPoRe 218 Posts. I have this effect and think it's terrific. I'm a worry-wart about safety, but it doesn't seem at all unsafe to me, as long as you're not pointing the bulb at your own face and as long as no spectator is within a certain number of feet. I've not used in yet in public performance - you have to have the right context for it. As someone else noted, it's hardly a good idea for close-up.

But I've practiced in my backyard and the mechanism worked for me everytime. I think that properly used (you have to create a good effect to which this is the climax), this is a potential reputation-maker 'demonstating' psychokinetic powers ot the presence poltergeists, or whatever the heck you want to. By the way if you get it, save all your used light bulbs at home, use 'em for practice.

For anyone that has this effect, have you tried using it with these bulbs.? I have seen them at the store and I was wondering if this would be a safe alternative to an exploding bulb. The only problem that I can think of is that I think these bulbs would show the point of impact. If that isn't a problem, or could be overcome, I think this would be great because it would appear that the bulb is just cracking.

If you own this effect, let me know if you think this would work. Thanks in advance. Thiago Regular user Brazil 179 Posts. HN Review 56: Exploding light bulb – Yigal Mesika AD: The performer holds a completely normal, clear lightbulb between his fingers, and suddenly the lightbulb EXPLODES AND SHATTERS into little pieces! The audience can examine the bulb both before and after the effect. Can be performed anywhere, any time. There is no movement in the performer's hands or fingers, can be done with any light bulb!

Precision machined gimmick makes this easy to do. This is a strong affect your audience will remember for a long long time! REVIEW: Sure they will remember it for a long long time, especially if you leave the shattered pieces all over the place.

Anyway, the gimmick works 100%, and you surely know how to obtain it and ditch it secretly. It is more suitable for parlor or stage though, because of its dimension, the angles and other inherent factors.

Overall rating: ok (be careful when performing close up!!) H.
