I did ask him, and he told me to use the thin bulbs. The reason I got offended by the sarcastic posts is because these skills are dangerous, and I don't like making jokes about serious things. I am sorry if I came off as snippy, but I wanted to be taken seriously. |

And did they light up, when you got them in the socket?

My employees or the bulbs?
BTW, electricians and lighting techs never call them "bulbs"... they are called "lamps". Ask them why, and they'll tell you that bulbs "are things you put in the ground".

I'm probably looking at this string far too late. I'm one of those guys that has done magic forever and has taken a strong interest in the sideshow arts in the past year. As a result, I am one of those guys that wants to know how to do it all (eat glass, swallow swords, etc.). My reasons for wanting to know are many. Primarily because I want to do something different, take the art form (sideshow) and bring new awareness to it on the street.
Because of this interest I conducted tons of research Online, at the library, and spoke to whoever claimed to be "in the know". I ended up at the Coney Island Sideshow School, which eventually led to me finding Todd Robbins. After emailing Todd he got back to me and told me that Harley Newman was the "go-to-guy", the best teacher in the business, etc. I have since contacted Harley, and much to my great pleasure he has accepted me as a student for this summer's Sideshow Skills class. I am elated and excited. Meanwhile, I continue to do what I can to learn about these skills. It is unfortunate that there isn't a lot out there but that also has its benefits, as I'm sure those making a living doing this stuff can tell you. These secrets are obviously well guarded. For good reason too, I'm certain. The bottom line is this. I understand why. I get it. Unlike magic sleights, sideshow skills involve true danger in many cases. Performing something the wrong way can kill or cause serious injury to self and others. Any kind of Forum is no place to discuss methodology. Rather, it is a great place to share thoughts, ideas, and network with like-minded souls who can then make their own arrangements offline to discuss methods. I am very open to the idea of learning this stuff but wouldn't dare go out and try anything on my own. That is why I sought out professional mentors and was fortunate enough to find Todd and Harley. I am excited about the opportunities that await. For those of you that are already seasoned pros, please give me a shout out. I'd love to touch base with you off line and listen to what you have to say about joining this community of human oddities, wonders, and, dare I say it, "freaks"! |

I believe that Tessler invented a certain light bulb which never would burn out and the filament was completely edible and very nutritious.
