Simple trick with steel wool!

It's very simple trick to make a lot of sparks, spending less than 2$
You'll need:
-piece of steel wool
-1 meter wire (for example copper wire)
- matches
1. Take wool and bind it to wire (make sure that it won't fly away when you'll spinning it)

Thousands of sparks!!!!
