Big Bang is the ultimate exploding light bulb.

As of June 2009, we're happy to release the latest version of this heart-stopping effect. Additionally, we've redesigned the gimmick to give it an even more modern and sleek appearance.

Place any ordinary light bulb in a clear bag - completely sealing it off. From this point on you never touch the bulb, and spectators can clearly see the bulb and straight through the bag.

Concentrate all of your mental energy on the bulb - IT EXPLODES! This unexpected WHOOOMMMPP!! stops the hearts of even the most hardened spectators.

You now are free to hand out the bag of broken shards, or safely dispose of the dangerous fragments in a nearby wastebasket.

Big Bang also allows you to borrow a quarter, and hold it in your outstretched hand in front of the bulb. Spectators can see that other than the bulb, the bag is completely empty. Now, two things happen at once - the bulb explodes as the coin visibly vanishes from your fingertips! You now show that the coin has instantly reappeared inside the remnants of the shattered bulb! This is an incredibly visual vanish and reappearance, all punctuated by the shattering of the bulb.

With Big Bang, you have complete control the entire time. Also, since the explosion happens in a bag, it's safe to perform in any venue - from stage to close-up - and there's never a mess to clean up.

Big Bang comes complete with everything you need - a precision engineered prop, supplies, plus an all-inclusive video CD that covers both performances and explanations - you just supply any regular bulb.

FEATURES

  • Spectators can hold the bulb through the bag.
  • Do it completely surrounded.
  • No special bulb or set up needed.Very simple to perform, so you can concentrate on presentation.

(This review is for Big Bang by Chris Smith)
On the surface this is an excellent idea but in actual use IT'S A P.O.S. There is no way to gracefully attach the clip properly during a live performance. I've worked with this thing for hours upon hours causing for some very sore fingers just from squeezing the clip open and trying to thread the bag into place. Right now I'm faced with having to waste a solid half hour of preshow time setting the damn thing in order to use it. . . starting off with the bulb in the bag, which is seriously uncool. This is another one of those "Almost a Great Trick" situations; the developer released it prematurely, before ALL of the bugs were worked out. For the price, this is a big bang only for those making a buck selling it, it's a big pain for the rest of us.

It's one of those elusive effects that can now be done in a clear and logical way. You have to be a little careful with the bags because the seam can tear and you don't want little bits of glass flying out, but that's an easily fixed problem. I'm very happy with this.

I bought this from Chris Smith at the live magic expo. He demo'd it repeatedly and it's very nice. The person that is having trouble must have a bad gimmick or something because the trick definately works. Couple this with Lightning and you have a nice illusion that could play to a crowd put packs, well you know the rest.
