Introduction: How to Make a Flashdark!
In this instructable I will tell you how to make a flashdark. What is a flashdark, you may be asking. Well it's basically a flashlight, but instead it's a flashdark!
Step 1: MAterials
What will I need to make a flashdark, you ask? Well can't you see the name of this step is called materials?
1. A flashlight that takes batteries.
2. Gypsie dust (optional).
3. Some sparkles (optional).
Step 2: The Flashlight
Ok so now is the part where your screwed if you haven't found a flashlight yet! If you have it, pick it up right now. Study it, and continue on to the next step!
Step 3: Battery Cover
Ok, so now your wondering what to do, right? WELLLLLLL you need to remove the battery cover, if you don't remove it then this instructable will be a waste of time... After the battery cover is off, take out the batteries/battery I can't stress this enough. When I first made this flashdark, I accidentaly took the batteries in... Big mistake... Don't Make the same mistake I did.
Step 4: Time to Make It Dark!
Now that the batteries/battery are/is out, put them in but instead of the right way put them in the wrong way!
Step 5: Put the Battery Cover Back On
The name of the step is self explanatory!
Step 6: Work It!
All you have to do to work your new flashdark 3000 is click the button, and. *BAM!*
-Warning I am not liable for any injuries caused by the flashdark 3000, results may vary-

I FOUND SOMETHING NEW! if you put one battery in the right way, and one in backwards, it's half light and half dark!

are you a wizard

Please don't do this. Aside from not turning your flashlight into a flashdark, putting the batteries in backwards will make them overheat and possibly explode.

On an incandescent flashlight it'll make no odds, however this does seem a bit... Ermm pointless...

What?? If it's a regular flashlight then nothing will change. If it's an LED flashlight, well, let's hope it has reverse voltage protection, or you might blow up the LED.

you should do your homework dude, LED is an abbreviation for Light Emitting Diode, especially the diode part is important, because if you would reverse the polarity exactly nothing would happen, because the current flow is blocked

Up to a certain point, yes. But excess voltage through the diode (and especially high power diodes) will quickly damage them - their reverse voltage threshold is usually only 5V or less.
