Thread: need help making sparks fly

Tweet

i recently went to a haunted house, while waiting outside i noticed they had a few "mosters" out to scare people, they would run up to you, slide on their knees and with their hands make sparks, i asked them how they did that but they wouldnt say, im guessing its against the rules :/ i want to if anyone knows how they did it and what i would need to do this also, i wana have a great entrance to a party im goin to.

any help would be greatly appreciated. please and thank you

They're called sliders. You should be able to find a lot of info with a search on some of the Halloween sites. Hope you're in good physical shape.

oooh ok cool thanx.
im in pretty good shape, im 5'11 and 175 pretty good i think.
thanx again

For the most part all you need is to attach metal washers to a pair of gloves, knee pads, and the bottom (or toe) of your shoes. You can also use small sheets of iron/steel. Just make sure what you make will not catch on rough pavement, and send you tumbling rather than sliding.

Since you don't need them to last that long, these will work fine: Amazon.com: Razor Spark Replacement Cartridge, Black, 2 Pack: Sports & Outdoors

You can probably buy them at some local stores in your area that sell the sparking scooters.

all you need is titanium it makes lots of really bright white sparks
