Electric Touch Cheap Version

On the whole I am against cheap versions of effects that come out simply as an opportunity for someone of lower quality to make some money by undercutting the big guy, but here is a slightly different look at things: Electric Touch.

I have never tried Electric Touch by Yigal Mesika and I have no idea exactly the types of things you can do with it. But I recently came upon a neat DIY site that I had seen a year or two ago based on stuff you can buy for a few dollars and build yourself.

Check out the site for ElectriFried, where the creator (while crediting Pikashoes) explains how to make a simple, handheld shocking device.

As I said, I have never purchased ET by YM, so don't know the method, but for the price of less than $10 and a few minutes of your time, having a homemade shocker can save you over $200 and give you a bit of fun, as well as the joy of creating something yourself.

That being said, even if you have Electric Touch, you can check out the magic related ideas that Mystician has on the ElectriFried site which might give you some knew ideas on how use your Jedi powers.

Of course if you really enjoy working with it, then using ET can add a new level of professionalism.
