Makes you wonder if a marshmallow can be toasted with a hair dryer :D
Challenge accepted; if I get my hands on both materials, I’ll do it this weekend.
I don’t know if I can take a video, though, so my word may have to be trusted when I answer.
I suspect a plain hair dryer can’t produce that much heat, however a hot air gun should work neatly (I used routinely a Bosch PHG 600-3 and I want to point out that you can seriously burn yourself if you don’t properly handle it).

Alton Brown, in a recent Good Eats episode, went through the several ways to toast bread for croutons:
oven broiler / toaster oven
grill
heat gun
blowtorch (of the kind used to solder copper pipes, available cheaply at hardware stores)
I’ve seen him recommend heat guns on other occasions so I bet it would work just fine.
Have you considered getting a smartphone (soon to be known as a “phone”)?
Considered? Yes. Decided it was a good idea? Not on my current undergraduate non-budget.
A wife can be equally restrictive :)
Edit: just noticed the down vote. Not sure why—a wife can be restrictive in that I’d like a smart phone and she doesn’t want me to have one.
