• Jeffrey asks: Can this be performed with the lightbulb in the spectator's hands? Also, is there any limitation to which style of light bulbs that would work with this?

• Rohan asks: Can this be done hands free without using a helper? My question is, can this be done with tor switch or something else so that it can be done totally hands free? Is there toe switch or other similar thing provided besides the remote and charger?

  • 1. SGKYDUYEN answers: In my opinion, you can put the switch the your knee to let your hands free

• Steven asks: Is it normal for the bulb to loose its power after it’s charged even when now being used? I received mine charged it to practice then lit it like once maybe twice to make sure it worked, went out and came back to practice a bit a few hours later but it was dead had to re charge again. Been a few times now. Thanks.

  • 1. Tom answers: I have a similar product. If you store the bulb w/ the circuit complete (connectors connected), it will heavily draw on the battery because it's essentially in a standby mode waiting for the remote cue. The fix is EASY. When not using, disconnect the wires in the bulb.

  • 3. Keith answers: This is an important question for someone looking to spend the $55. I would appreciate knowing if it doesn't stay charged after hours of not using it? Thank you for any understanding.

• Sascha asks: How long will it shine? Can it be switched on from the beginning of the act and switched of via remote 20-30 minutes later?

• Mark asks: Does the bulb have an indicator to let me know how much charge it has left? If not, how long after the bulb is fully charged will it start losing its brightness?

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: The bulb itself doesn't, but the charger does have an indicator light that tells you if it is fully charged or not, so if you want to know if it is fully charged you simply need to plug it into the charger.

• Alan asks: I cannot remember where to place the magnet to "turn off" the bulb. I have managed to lose the instruction video. Any help as to where to place the magnet would be appreciated.

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: I've emailed you the instruction video link, although it should be in your downloads section of your account! :)

• Peter John asks: How fragile is this? Glass? Plastic? (Basically, does it travel relatively well, or do I need to baby it?)

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: This would need care when traveling as it is made from the same material as a normal bulb

• Michael asks: Has anyone used this in a walk-around situation or is it strictly a stage/parlour item? Also noticed a 3.0 version has come out that uses a clear bulb with filament visible which looks quite cool. Will Vanishing have this available at some point?

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: No one here has used it for walk-around, but there is no reason at all why it wouldn't work for you in that situation.
