Caution: duct tape is powerful stuff.

Remember to use the lead, so that you can use the spark gun outside!

Caution! Caution! Caution! Not to do without adult supervision. My pipe started melting at the end, so be extremely careful. Be sure not to point the gun up, otherwise sparks may go into the hair dryer, and we wouldn't won't that. Don't point towards any flammable objects and also not any human or animal!

Please be careful and rather not try this at home. It's not that useful.
