Ultraviolet Props

How to play with "UV" gear, by Rob Stone

UV Gear

UV tubes are WELL expensive, 17 quid (only come in 4ft) if you can get it cheaper let me know. They fit a standard fluorescent fitting which costs about a tenner including a normal bulb! If you anted to do some UV get yourself a cage to go around the tube cos clubs brake tubes quite easily!. Ideally you would like illumination from in front low and behind high so you can see the tops of the props, although you can do a nice act with one light.

Props

Some suggestions:

scarves - look really neat, easy to do !
balls - Brightest I've used are spotlight beanbags but big stageballs look great.
clubs - beard photons are magic, bright and nice to juggle
rings - JD/Mr Babache are good soft on the hands,
poles - decorate a broom handle with fl. paper, looks good.
clubs again - decorated with fl. paper look good for swinging.

Clothes

Whatever you like but beware, washing powders make things glow really bright. I use a combination of blackout and silly colours. Face painting is also a possibility.
