man, I remember those too... wanted one so bad when I was a kid and once I got it was disapponted that it didn't so the things the TV said it would without yanking it's chain... LOL
I would do a video but than I would feel like a big noob lol. It looks awesome in dark areas and seeing the secret is revealed.. in dim lit areas can't really see the string. As for well litted areas, I think it isn't as seen due to the angle.
A glow in the dark one in complete darkness would be awesome!
