I think I may be dissapointing people with this one, it's an old conjuror's
trick the bulb isn't real, It is made from translucent plastic with a small
bulb and battery inside, a switch is formed at the base. A similar one I
used many years ago as an amateur conjurer was lit in the hand by bridging
the base contacts using my wedding ring. In fact if unless you looked real
close it looked like a normal bulb, the contacts were just like the real
thing!
