Make a HAND SHOCKER

    The shocker is for all you practical jokers out

there. It is a nonlethal way to provide a small

shock of electricity to any one who is foolish 

enough to shake hands with you.

    The accompanying illustrations show how to 

construct the device. You need to buy a small

step-up transformer from a hobby shop. Hook up 

the battery pack and hand unit to the transformer 

as shown. Connect the hand unit to a leather 

glove. The most important thing to remember is 

to not throw the toggle switch until you have the 

spectator's hand in yours. If you activate the 

switch and then shake hands, the device will not 

work. I won't bore you with why; it's the way 

transformers work. Follow the instructions to the 

letter. I don't want you to kill anyone. 

    Don't use this device on young children or 

elderly people. Kids will cry, and some elderly 

person may have a pacemaker that will respond

adversely to your form of humor. 

    I prefer to shake hands with some big beef- 

eating oaf who wants to show the world how all 

my tricks work. Shake hands to show no hard

feelings, then ZAP him.
