Magic Light Bulb (1 ct)

This item is often advertised as "Uncle Fester's light bulb". Having just played Fester in The Addams Family Musical I can tell you it CAN be that---but with some care and adjustments.It has lead on the ends and needs metal around the base as well as metal on the bottom (2 connections if you will) to light.So this end with the lead that needs metal has to go into your mouth! And to make it work (and look good and convincing) it should only light when it gets into your mouth.I won't get into the stressful trials and what I used until I discovered the answer. The answer that worked for me.Find a reed diffuser...Take the ring that helps hold the reeds together at the top of the glass container many of them come in. It looks like metal but it isn't. Line it with a piece of foil with one side open to stick the bulb in, and leaving enough at the open end (the end of the bulb where lead is), and have it be sort of flexible so it is not touching the base.Put it in your mouth with your teeth on the ring (on the base), and use your tongue to push the small bit of excess foil at the end to the base of the bulb to make it light. It had a nice tight fit and I simply took it off when done with the bit. (Be careful as the whole base came out of the bulb. I just used a spare bulb after that.)THE AUDIENCE LOVED IT!Because I had tried it with just aluminum foil when I just got it and had a metallic taste in my mouth I knew that wouldn't work. And as I said for it to look really good it can't light until it's in your mouth.Hope this helps any of you Festers-to-be. Apparently there are safer no-lead bulbs out there that also have replacement batteries but they cost more.4 stars for the value but the lead is kind of a nasty touch and really you need a spare because you have no way of knowing how long it will last.

I received last time. It was completely damaged. I had to returned it the seller. Second time received, it is not working because outside and outside bulbs were not properly glued. It is my hobby and interest to show the tricks and magics to the small children. Please don't send it to me again. I will take care of the expenses.Have a nice day

Excellent party trick for Halloween. Won 1st place in fancy dress competition. Only downside the instructions for use are a bit misleading.

Advertised to me to insert into mouth, but then told on the box the product contains lead o i unusable in this way. Product doesn't work anyway and was a complete waste of time and money

One was smashed on arrival
