I've just seen a Paul Mackenna´s Paranormal World (I think thats the name) were he presented a Croatian man that supposedly has the hability to create electricity.
Obviously, there was also the scientist that investigated the man and a handy passing-by skeptic to be converted on stage.

He performed a series of stunts: powering a Sony radio, turning on a bulb, and, of course, zapping skeptic' hand in order to make him a believer, what actually happened.

I can think of some ways to perform those very stunts by trickery myself, but the one that intrigued me most was when the skeptic ( ;) ) placed the bulb on the forefront of this man and ...miracle! the bulb lighted!

Did anyone see this very show? Do anyone know how they did it?

PS: Of course, this electric man could greet Paul Mackenna by shaking his hand without zapping him... but who cares about details, anyway.

The words "Trick bulb" spring readily to mind... ;)

So do the words "Uncle Fester". But it was way cooler when he did it. :D
