yes, just a little word of warning that if you are buying any kinda prop, to read the instructions first and give yourself time to think it all through...

dont go tearing through it all like when you buy a computer game; thinking "yeah yeah yeah, i know how this works...obvious..."

i recently sent off for an omega candle, despite my initial dissapointment of it looking rather plastic-like i was still eager, very breifly looked at the instructions "blah blah blah, hand..." was all my brain read from the sheet of A4...

where do i put the batteries? my still sleepy but hungry mind instinctively pulled the candle from the holder....my first and most crucial mistake...

i was left with a candle, a holder, and some wires...and a defunct omega candle that i was looking forward to using all week after maybe drizzling it with some wax and painting the holder...

so, learn your lesson brothers and sisters, take your time, however eager...especially if you've ordered a guillotine...

epilogue: after my disaster i thought "oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound..." and ripped the entire thing apart to see how it all worked, and to find out where to place the batteries...it was ridiculously simple, but i could almost swear the lightbulb flashed once at me and then slowly faded away as if to say "you absolute idiot....goodbye"

Oops

I've done this with a few non-magical things before now. Assumption is the mother of all c*ck ups!
