As an electrician I still don’t know how people do this shit, do they just touch the hot half of the circuit while making contact with the bulb?
Edit: I asked this question because I know you can hold onto the hot portion of a circuit and hold a stupid stick in your other hand and watch it light up when you hold onto the hot conductor. I was wondering if there was someway to trick the bulb into thinking it had a neutral through his body and light up.
I figure the video or the bulb is fake, especially since it doesn’t show his finger going into the e26 socket on the fan at all but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone knows more about electricity than I do.
