Let There Be Light
 

I’ve seen some posts recently asking for feedback on fiber optic whips. You’ve seen them being demoed by April Choi, Naomi Damien and others: they have flexible strands that channel the light.

There are also blacklight whips, whips made from UV reactive paracord. Under blacklights, they glow. If you have several lights, they glow continuously. If you have a single blacklight tube that flashes 120 times a second, you get a whip that leaves “trails.” Very trippy!

If you have props that are painted with glow-in-the-dark paint, they will glow brighter and brighter under the UV light.

And, of course, you have fire whips. To add the flash and sparkle to a flaming crack, rub Sklitter™ (magnesium) into the thong and cracker. Do not crack it towards people. Above all, be safe: have an asbestos blanket or a welder's blanker close by and remember to keep the whip moving until it runs out of fuel.
