Milk in Lightbulb Remote Control Lamp

THIS VIDEO DEMO IS FROM THE MANUFACTURER:

Really startling- defies the senses! This professional effect is sure to be one of the strongest in your act- you can even use it as a closing effect, leaving your audience in total amazement!

The effect is simple. Stand several feet away from the lamp, and vanish your choice of white milk, white salt or a white silk. The instant the object vanishes, the lamp suddenly turns off, though you are not near the lamp when this happens. Next, remove the lampshade and unscrew the bulb. Tip the bulb, and out comes the vanished milk, salt or silk! All that's left is just an empty bulb!

Best of all, you can do this wonderful effect by yourself, without the need of any offstage assistants. You are always in full control of the lamp even though you are a distance from it.

You probably do not want to use regular cow's milk with this routine, as milk can spoil and because of the fat content, can be difficult to rinse out of the pitcher.

 

Option 1: use soy milk, which does not spoil and can be sipped during the routine to prove that it's real milk.

 

Option 2: mix up some powdered milk just before showtime. Again, the milk can be sipped, and it is easy to transport because you keep it in powdered form until you use it.

 

Option 3: NOT RECOMMENDED to use the solution marketed as OOM. This is concentrated machinist's cutting oil which, when mixed with water, turns the water a milky color. It's not suitable to be ingested! It also has a strong smell; your audience will know it's not real milk, and will mistakenly think that the trick works by using some sort of fake milk. Plus the oil will cause your pitcher to discolor over time. Not good!
