I got this because I wanted to do the Fire Bible gag Nathan Kranzo mentioned in his comedy lecture. And though still pricey, it's was cheaper than the other fire books out there. It serves my specific purpose, anyway. But I'd prefer if the device was a flint instead of being electronic, because I worry that the wires or something will just fail on me one day. With a flint, all I have to worry about is replacing the flint and wick.

Also I get a bigger flame out of my Magic Maker's fire wallet. That might be a good thing though.

This is definitely just a stage item though. Tip: I've been putting in a S.S Adam's wind-up butterfly in the book and pretending it's a moth when it flys out just to get an extra gag out of my gag.
