Any Magnet danger?

Hello, I am new here and several of us have a few questions. We have seen several video's like this.

 

1. Are these actually powering a bulb?

2. How long would last if never stopped?

3. Any fire danger?

4. I have a retrieving that says it will lift 800 lbs.

5. Any danger of doing the same thing with the retrieving magnet?

6. How big a light will it power?

Thanks for looking. I am retired and have some kids asking me. I wonder also.

No. There's a trick involved (possibly an inductive source under the table). There is no fire danger if you recreated what's in the video, because no current will be flowing.

Thanks. There are quite a few of these videos and by others as well on YOTUBE.
