Hollow Bulb Effect
Devin Knight
(Based on 1 review)
This is a handcrafted HOLLOW light bulb with a rubber stopper. It can double as a replacement for standard Milk in Light Bulbs. However, these bulbs come complete with directions for two mind-boggling effects that don't require that you own a gimmicked Milk in Bulb Trick. Check out what you can do with these bulbs.
EFFECT 1:
Turn off ANY ungimmicked lamp and unscrew the bulb. You can even use a borrowed light bulb in someone's home. Place the bulb in a paper bag. Vanish milk, salt or white silk. The bulb is taken from the bag and the bag shown empty. It appears something is inside the bulb. The magician rubs the bottom of the screw-in base and a HOLE APPEARS IN IT! Whatever was vanished (milk, salt or a white silk)is poured or pulled from the bulb leaving a CLEAR HOLLOW BULB that can be examined.
EFFECT 2:
Magician unfolds a small lunch bag and has it examined. A CLEAR light bulb is placed into the bag and the top of the bag twisted and given to a spectator to hold. Milk is vanished using any method you want. The bag is untwisted and the bulb is taken out. IT IS SEEN TO BE FULL OF MILK which is then poured out. No switch of the bulb. Both bulb and bag can be examined at the end.
Available in two sizes--a small bulb that holds 5 oz of liquid and a larger bulb that holds 7 oz of liquid.
Bulbs sold separately and includes a LEAK-PROOF rubber stopper designed to fit the bulb perfectly. Additional directions for other effects with the bulbs such as a chosen playing card or borrowed bill appearing inside a light bulb are included.
THIS SMALL HOLLOW BULB ALSO SERVES AS A REPLACEMENT BULB FOR THE MAK MAGIC MILK IN BULB OR ANY STANDARD MILK IN BULB LAMP.

Tracy, my partner here at MLA, gets on my case sometimes about writing short reviews. But when I get a product such as this, what can I really say? Does it do you, the reader, any good to pad this review with unnecessary words? I think not.
This product is exactly what the title says. It is a small (5oz), hollow light bulb. If you need a small, hollow light bulb with a stopper, then this product is for you. If not, then it's not. This isn't rocket science.
The product comes with an instruction sheet that outlines some potential uses for the bulb, but would you really buy such a thing without having a use for it already? From my point of view, the instructions are a bonus, not a necessary part of the product.
The "machining" of the bulb appears to be satisfactory and the seal is solid.
I suppose there is one negative thing I can say about this product: it showed up broken. The glass bulb was separated from the base (i.e. cracked). It's not so much a product fault as a packaging fault. But I suppose if I'd have paid for one, I'd be a little crabby if it showed up broken.
Wow... 223 words on a hollow light bulb. Tracy will be proud.
[Editor's note: I'm very proud.]
