Just in time for the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows comes Zack's newest BFX episode; A Harry Potter style Magic Wand! Watch Zack craft a Stunt prop wand, as well as a Hero prop wand with a working LED light on the end. Both for under $40! Make sure you tune in tomorrow for the test film!

HUGE thanks to Dan Martinez (www.danmartinezmusic.com) for composing the original "Harry Potter"-style music for this episode.

  • ty making on now :)

  • @salimtheawesome Solder* And It's actually not that bad. If you have a local radioshack, you can pick an iron and solder up for less than $10. Cheap irons, yes, but still an iron nonetheless.

    Also, a side note, if you wanted to extend the life of the LED, you can add in a resistor which limits the current being flowed through the wires.

  • Me: please no solider, please no solider!

    Zack: and a solider iron

    Me: NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
