TO ESTIMATE SPACE REQUIREMENTS

A bullwhip is measured from the end of the handle to the end of the thong (the braided part of the whip).
Add to this the length of the lace-like "fall" and the lash itself (appx. 2 feet).
Then add to this the length of a man's arm (appx. 3 feet). The result is the radius (NOT the diameter!) of a circle of safe bullwhip handling.

For example, a 6-foot bullwhip should be given a clear 22 foot circle for the safety of the observers.

Ceiling height should be 1/2 to 2/3 of this number (ie a 6-foot whip needs a ceiling height of appx. 12-14 feet).
Ceiling should be unimpeded by fire sprinklers, lamps, chandeliers, etc.

Other Notable Guests Appearing - Robert Dante

"Robert Dante, the 'World's Fastest Whip," will be returning to MarsCon for an out of this world performance. It has been five years since this Guiness Book of World Records holder electrified MarsCon with his theatrical blend of dark fantasy and circus. You will be mesmerized.

"Robert Dante is an internationally recognized bullwhip expert and 3-time world record holder who has presented performances, workshops and demonstrations all over the world. Dante is a member of the Wild West Arts Clubs and he writes a monthly column for the Wild West Performers Magazine Online. He is founder and coordinator of LA Whip Enthusiasts, and he was the bullwhip coach at the Dream Circus in Hollywood before he moved to San Francisco. Dante has cracked the whip on numerous TVshows, including Blind Date, Playboy TV's Night Calls, KTLA's Morning News, The Eclectic Mind, Blitz, Envy TV, HBO's Real Sex, Sin City and others. Dante also has spoken about whip cracking on many radio programs, from Texas to Australia. Dante set the first Guinness World Record for "World's Fastest Whip" at Dream Circus in September 203. On September 20, 2004, Robert Dante cracked a 6-foot bullwhip 214 times in 60 seconds at the Spirit of the West Festival in Sioux Falls, SD, beating his old record by 11 cracks. In 2008, Dante made it a hat trick. "
