If you have an old microwave, you can make a plasma ball with it.  Find a
nice round, deep Pyrex dish, or a glass globe for a ceiling light.  Find 3
20oz pop bottle caps, a cork, a toothpick, and a match or lighter.

stick the toothpick in the cork.  put in center of microwave.  Arrange the
20 oz caps around the toothpick so you can put your pyrex dish upside down
and have it be supported off the bottom of the microwave.  Before you put
the dish on, light the toothpick.  Put the dish on, shut the door, and start
the microwave.  In about 10 seconds, you'll see a couple of bright flashes
and you'll see a plasma ball form in the dish and it will make a very loud
humming sound.  It gets hot though, it will melt the glass or pyrex dish
eventually, so you probably want to use an old microwave.
