let the sparks fly?
Thu, 16 Oct 2008, 10:14 pmA poser to all you teckies out there. Does anybody have an answer to how we can create sparks to occur during a sword fighting sequence? During a sword fight rehersal for our performance for Peter Pan we did have a couple of sparks fly, the effect was "electric" and we would like to reproduce this on cue each show. There must be some elements that could be coated to one sword that would create sparks when struck by another.

sparks when struck
Fri, 17 Oct 2008, 10:12 amI was once in a production of the scottish play in a dimly-lit gothic church. We used claymores made out of 4 cm wide strips of raw steel. They made beaut sparks when bashed together in the darkness. There were a few cases of split webbing and fractured digits though.
