Light bulbs trick

I finally figured out how to do this trick and I just had to build my own version.

Same "rules" apply as in the other video: no one is under the table, no preprogrammed order and the lights and switches have not been tampered with.
You can find more information about how I build it over here: http://digi-online.net/andy/index.php?page=view_projects&id=11 (Dutch).

If anyone is interested in the circuit diagrams, or any other information, just drop a comment.

took me 20 minutes to figure out, and now I feel pretty dumb. The switches/bulbs are both part of the same circuit, which has to be engaged in 1-2-3-4 order. After this is done, it remembers which switches engage which bulbs. If either a bulb or switch is removed, the circuit is reset and waits for the magician to re-engage in 1-2-3-4 order, after which switches can be pressed in any order.

@avsti Close, but not quite there yet. You are correct about the switch order. You program the order by closing the switches in the correct lamp sequence. So, the first switch you should close is the switch that has the color of lamp #1 (lamp on the far right in this vid). The next switch you close has to be the switch with the color of lamp #2, etc... Resetting is done by turning switch #4 (switch on the right) off LAST of all switches. You can now rearrange the caps/lamps and reprogram it.

@TheCrazyInventor huh. That certainly corresponds to the video. I wonder what advantage it has over what I suggested?

[TheCrazyInventor]

@avsti Well, when doing it your way, you'd need sensors to detect the presence of a lightbulb/cap. Now, that's not hard to do, but my way saves me a lot of work, and the trick still works. :)

Where did you get the switches. I saw another pic where it looks like you used a modified light switch also. Would love to get those.

[TheCrazyInventor]

Those are just regular switches you'd find in every home. I got them in a hardware/home improvement store. I modified them a little so you can lift the cap over the switch (by sawing the inside of the cap out using a bandsaw). After that, I just spray-painted the caps.

Heey zou je mij eens willen vertellen hoe je dit nou hebt gedaan? Die links waarin informatie staat bestaat niet meer. Ik zou dit ook graag willen maken.
