Note to self: Don't ever attend this guy's parties - OpenFuture, on 10/11/2007, -0/+38It would be a lot easier to just buy the trick birthday candles that do this.
- longhairman1337, on 10/11/2007, -3/+28The question is: Where do you get magnesium?
- shadokast, on 10/11/2007, -0/+23Sorry to be a Debby Downer, but how the hell is this fun for parties?
- xShad0w, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11They sell a box of these candles for a few bucks at shoppers and other supermarkets, waste to do it yourself
- drethedog, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13Sweet... But who uses candles nowadays??? LEDs last FOREVER.....

- HabboX, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8How many times did you blow the LEDs on your birthday cake before you realized they weren't going to go out?

- Saad85, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6do you have that disorder where you can't control the volume of your voice?
- masamunecyrus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3United Nuclear has all of your world-dominating chemical and metal needs:

It looks like you can buy pure Magnesium ribbon from there, which would make an awesome wick-substitute. :-) - clark24, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Gotta love how nobody on Digg ever picks up on sarcasm uness you append your comment with "/sarcasm"
- JazJon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3what he said
- 15charmaxwtf, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Sounds dangerous, does it continue burning foreveR?
- Korrigan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2The music is so uplifting. I feel awesome.
- kalleanka, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Everyone says you can buy these in stores. I have never looked for it, so I don't know, but can someone give the name of a brand or link to someplace where these are sold?
I don't want to look like an idiot walking into the local store and say "ehh. I'm looking for candles with magnesium that you can never blow out.. you know...".
So please, give me some name or some link. - Lax32, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Dont they sell these?
- HelplessSEAL, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2make better use of it and make some thermite
- Colt4cm, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2that looked like a tampon more than a candle.
- andydude117, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2dont digg his comment down haha i thought it was funny
- edgeofreason, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I may have found this mildly entertaining if i was ten years old.
- Scheissen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Magnesium is the white color give off in fireworks. If you purchase white sparklers then odds are it has magnesium.
- hulez, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1WAIT. The title is wrong.
If this was self lighting you wouldn't need to light it to begin with. - Scheissen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1wow saad you are a moron. read the ***** description
- soccerman90, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1nothing can burn forever. If that existed we would have unlimited energy already
- soccerman90, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1you dont need a bunson burner, you can use a stove. Most people have a pan they can use. And you just need a container that wont melt at the temperature of the wax
- Pignanelli, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"Happy Birthday, Gramma!!!"
- Rizzinator, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2"All you need is Magnesium, String, Wax". Oh, and a bunson burner, a nonstick pan, and some PVC tube container to hold the wax...but you would have figured that out...
- themastersb, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Why do people always have to use this song in tutorials?
- Pahanaama, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Thermite is rust and aluminum powder.. Magnesium is only good for igniting the stuff
- resplence, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2People get paid at metacafe when their videos are well visited, so they try to make appealing videos; easy how-to quick fixes being the most popular and perhaps easier way to garner attention.
- zelf, on 03/21/2008, -0/+0WoodWick Candles http://www.aromabrava.com/ are cooler and make a crackling noise like a fire.
- cekim, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1When I saw the flixya URL I thought "wow, this is actually not on metacafe" ..why are there so many how-to-do-this-random thing videos on metacafe?
- buryme, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Just ask for "trick candles" at a party store.
- dirtyhand, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1When did Metacafe become this "How-To" video site?
- Maynza, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Some sparklers do not contain magnesium and they state it specifically, the ones that do contain it usually don't say anything on the box.
I know that Diamond brand colored sparklers do contain it, you can get them from any Phantom Fireworks store. - malice8691, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1I wouldn't waste my time when you can just buy them cheap enough
- apescissors, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2read the description
- mb3581, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1easiest place is one of those fire starters they give the boy scouts....its a magnesium/flint stick. the block the flint is mounted in has magnesium.
- madoc12349, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1maybe some of the diggers here don't have a fine tuned e-sarcasm-o-meter
- bigsmellyfart, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Could anyone tell me the music and the band playing it used in this video?
- LakeshoreBaby, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Sweet!
- HabboX, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Pack of trick candles from the grocery store = 99 cents. I think there are 8 in a package. So that's less than 13 cents each retail. Wholesale is about 4 cents each. A magnesium fire starter is about 8 dollars, but you can probably make a lot of candles with it.
- thestorey, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Sparklers.
- JAXXXON, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0No idea, but I like it.
- oesj, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1the alternative answer to life the universe and everything: ebay!
- griffeycom, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1If you read the box, Sparklers don't actually contain magnesium.
- kalleanka, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1"If you can blow this light out in 3 tries, I buy you a drink, if you can't I buy you a drink!"
See... Fun for you... bad for the other guy. - joemofo214, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1dude
