Plasma ball

Electric lighting effect that puts the power of lightning at the users fingertips. When plugged in using the supplied adapter, this glass ball produces streaks of lightning that react to the users touch. Users just move their fingers along the outside of the glass and watch as the lightning follows their movements. With its sphere style design the plasma ball allows them to view the light effect generated from virtually any angle.
