Pretty cool, although it seems like he is blasting his phone with x-rays? I am guessing that thin phosphorescent screen isn't blocking much.

As long as it works, it works. Interestingly the phone doesn't glitch. I wonder how many x-ray equivalent doses the lighter, the guy and his phone have picked up by now.

This is probably safe if you do it once but I'd definitely not do this regularly.

I'm now remembering The Knick when that guy gets cancer from his obsession with the x-ray machine.
