I have this and of course the demo looks sensational. One thing that is a concern is the charging up of the cane takes a long time, over an hour, so make sure to have it all set in time. Another thing is the wick of the torch will not hold much lighter fuel and will evaporate quickly, so this can only work if used as a walk on, or if you have a reliable assistant. In fact, I have found the small electric glow wires used for igniting the fire to be hit or miss. Putting a tiny ball of flash cotton into the wires is necessary. Yes it is a great effect, but nothing is easy, and I only wish Mr. Bond put a bit more R&D into this. If you must have it, I say get two so you will have a back-up unit, and take your time to work on this, and understand that this is not a toy, and potentially dangerous!

Great effect, the best cane I have purchased, However the ignitor does not always work when the button is pressed as it should.
