Laser pointer, precision double slit, screen, and single-photon detector. Fire photons one at a time through two slits. They create an interference pattern as if each photon went through both slits. This will break your intuition. Good.

Hands-on microscopy. Prepare slides, stain bacteria, observe microorganisms that cause infection. My father improved the microscope lens. I used the improved microscope to see what was killing surgical patients. One generation builds the tool, the next uses it.

Professional Winsor & Newton watercolor set with brushes, paper pad, palette, and water cup. Everything you need for a day of painting. Great for plein air at the beach.

Everything you need to broadcast from anywhere on Earth. Laptop, USB condenser mic, webcam with decent low-light, portable ring light, and a VPN because you'll need one. I've broadcast from jungles, hotel rooms, and the back of vans. The truth doesn't need a studio.

Mylar sheets, precision craft knife, self-healing cutting mat, spray paint adaptor for even coverage. Everything you need to make multi-layer stencils that look like they were screenprinted. Also includes a hoodie. You'll need the hoodie.

Full socket set, wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, voltage tester, pipe wrench, hacksaw. Metric AND imperial because we're Swiss-Canadian and we work in both worlds. Everything in its place. Return it the same way.

Kind of Blue used two scales for the entire album. Two. I'll teach you to improvise using modes instead of chord changes. Freedom through limitation. When you only have two colors, you learn to paint everything.

Learn to apply real gold leaf to paintings, furniture, or frames. I'll teach you the sizing, the breathing technique (one sneeze and twenty euros of gold blows away), and how to mix gold with oil paint for the effect you see in The Kiss. Materials included.

Potter's wheel, electric kiln, glazes, clay. I made over 4,000 ceramic pieces in Vallauris. Come shape something with your hands. The clay doesn't care about your reputation.

Build your own Tesla coil. Educational kit with all components, safety instructions, and my original circuit diagrams. When you see lightning jump between your hands and the coil, you'll understand why I couldn't stop. Low power -- it tingles, it doesn't kill.

Portable French easel, oil paints (Winsor & Newton), brushes, canvas boards. Everything you need to paint outdoors. I spent sixty years painting outside. The light changes every five minutes. That's not a problem. That's the point.

I don't teach you to play pretty. I teach you to play LOUD. Standing up. Kicking the bench. One foot on the keys. The piano is not a delicate instrument -- it's a 900-pound percussion weapon and you need to HIT IT. A-WOP-BOP-A-LOO-BOP!
