    It was awesome, despite the lack of AC. I'm glad I got some video of the Star Wars theme.

    I saw these guys at Dragon*Con. They are the absolute shit. Their version of the AirWolf theme put chills down my spine, and the coils put out such a crazy EM field that the house lights would flicker in time to the music when they cranked them all the way up. It was way cool.

    I don't understand why everyone thinks this sort of thing is so dangerous. It's electricity, it's predictable, and when you know how to work with it (which this guy obviously does) you can do "crazy" things like this with relative safety.


    It's a carny trick, like walking on hot coals / broken glass or laying on a bed of nails. As long as you know what's going on, driving a car is more dangerous.


    Don't get me wrong, this is undeniably cool. But the guy doesn't have a death wish, he just knows his sh*t and figured it would be a neat thing to do.

    In this case the Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie actually helped save his life.

    @DeadWriter: Hey, this guy is an agent of the aliens and abductors! Foil does not work. Especially a beanie! For proper thought control prevention and to also stop the abductions, aluminum foil doesn't work. That's why the aliens LET you construct a foil helmet. They really fear stuff that works. Like this:


    But be warned. According to the creator,on the directions page, you need to create these quickly, as when the aliens, or DeadWriter find out you are constructing one, they will try to stop you. You also need to add velcro or a string to your hat so that the aliens can not remove it. During the day, when you are safe, you need to keep this in a cabinet with a handle or latch, so the aliens can not steal it! Please people, DO NOT LISTEN TO THE OBVIOUS ALIEN DEAR WRITER!!! ;P
