RosenGadgets and Magic Wagon bring to current Gecko owners a brand new Gecko gimmick called the Gecko Flash!
The Gecko Flash gives you the ability to perform incredible vanishes with an intense bright "Flash" of white light. Your spectators will be stunned to see an item vanish in a quick flash of light as you immediately show your hands completely clean.
The Gecko Flash is built for extreme durability and should last for hundreds of performances when used properly.
Includes one Gecko Flash electronic gimmick, 12v battery (easily sourced), spare repair items, and a 90 day warranty with proof of purchase receipt.
NOTE: The Gecko Flash can only be used if you have purchased the original Gecko! Please do not purchase the Gecko Flash if you have not purchased the original Gecko as you will need to use items that came with the original Gecko.

It's exactly what the description says: an attachment for your Gecko that will produce a flash when you vanish your object. Actually, though, it's more than that. Here's what you should know that isn't covered in the product description:
The light is very bright (produced by an array of eight white LEDs). I didn't actually calculate the current characteristics of the circuit, but I imagine the battery should last for quite a while. They've even included an extra set of screws and nuts in case you lose one or more when you change the battery (they're small and a bit unwieldy to deal with). You are also provided with a cover for the switch. This will be critical when traveling with the unit. I imagine it wouldn't take long to wear out the batter if the unit got stuck on for several hours.
- The light is completely independent of the vanish. There's no reason you couldn't "flash" and then wait a few seconds before the vanish.
- The duration of the "light" is completely up to you. It can be a quick flash (ala Fism Flash) or an extended "glow."
- There's no reason you have to vanish anything at all. You could use the gimmick just to produce a flash at will. I guess, for that matter, you wouldn't even need the Gecko if you had some other way to ditch the gimmick.
