Bert,Robert,All,

The stunt "streamers from fingers" is a
very dangerous trick.That's why none of pros like to
share their tips how to do it , what to avoid doing
it etc.
I can imagine a dozens of situations where something
can go wrong there.Even with all precoution measures,
 still can not be completely safe.
If forced to do it I would wear a clothe with metal
fibres in it that would cover over 95% of  area of my
body,which would give the effect of a
Faradey cage.
Without such clothe what if arc from fingers connect
to ground path accidently,and your coil is 1 kVa+
powered?
Knock out in a first round-game over.

regards,
Boris
