![]() In a world full of smartphones and tablets you would think this trick would most likely bomb but I'm here to tell you that's just not the case. In all cases this effect is just plain fun to do and spectators are always baffled. ![]() Colored switches cause bulbs of the same color to light whether the bulbs themselves are moved around or in some cases if the labeled switches are changed.

It was a class project and as I recall my teacher was not a magician. I remember building something similar in my electronics class back in high school. The history of this thing goes back into the mid 1950's and perhaps further. The ad copy and video demo above are both an accurate portrayal of this latest incarnation of the switchboard concept. The device apparently “knows” the spectator’s choice and lit it up on its own. The spectator reveals the color and the device is turned face up to show the chosen color light is now lit, despite the fact none of the switches were turned on. The spectator is asked to just think of a color lens (green, yellow, or red). The device is placed face down covering the lights. Now, each switch is turned on to show the color switch still operates the colored light regardless of the fact the lens covers have moved. This is done until all lens covers are replaced. The spectator is asked to select a color lens and choose a light to cover with it. Now the colored light covers are removed to show all three lights are the same white color and only the lens covers are colored. The switches are turned off and the colored covers left in place. Finally, the red cover is put on the final switch which now turns on the red light. Next the spectator chooses a switch for the yellow cover (no force) and behold when turned on it lights the yellow light. The switch is turned on to show the green light still lights even though the switch is different. The spectator chooses a different switch to put the green cover on (no force). The light switches are turned off and all three colored switch covers are removed. The magician begins by demonstrating that each colored light is activated by the corresponding colored switch directly below it. This trick can be played and operated by your volunteer to maximize the effect - let them switch the lights on and watch their mouth drop.ĮFFECT: The magician introduces a small handheld electronic device consisting of three colored lights (green, yellow, and red) and three matching colored switches below each light. ![]() Description / Ad Copy: This Cobra Light is a new version of the old switch box in a new & exciting way, small and wonderful and fits in your pocket with a new feature that will have everyone in shock. ![]()
