Does it have to be a red light? Any reason why? I got a purply looking one, or failing that I could probably put the monitor really close to my eyes showing a red screen in MS paint.

Keen to try this but bothered in case I take a bit too much of a fancy to this harold the unicorn person.

I'm going to try this tonight, for sure.
I have ping pong balls I think, red light on a big monitor in a dark room should be fine for the light source i'm hoping...

Don't have any ping pong balls so going to go with some squares cut from a milk bottle and securly taped over

I have a question about this.

It sends you on a trip due to sensory deprivation...fine...but if you were to do it without an assistant...how do you stop tripping?! :eek:

seems colouring the ping-pongs with red , yellow or blue marker will do.

....skips off to ebay to hunt down blue ping pongs.

Just lol @ this. I really need to try it, will wait and see what you guys think of it first though

Is there a danger of being 'stuck' in the hallucination/trip and unable to get out of it? That's my only worry at the moment.

Tefal · 22 Sep 2009 at 17:55

Does the colour affect it/

like if you us eyellow = happy, blue = clam, red = a violent ramage which is reported in the news as the ping pong massacre?

But surely if it;s truly trippy you won't know what's going on so won't think to do this.

Hmm...does it work better if you are drunk?

I stand by it, if in doubt scratch at your eyes

To be honest, to properly ensure you're not going to see anything...
