Spider man


I have been asked to play Spider man at a child’s birthday party (my nephew’s son). I will be in a costume and I would like some special effects.

I would like to swing in through an open window or door but I think that’s not practical. The best I can come up with are cans of spray string piped to my wrists with some way of activating them,. Perhaps a smoke generator, a strobe light and laser display. I have also considered a zip wire but no suitable location to zip from to the party location,. I am still considering that, perhaps the house roof to garden would be doable.

Does anyone else have any ideas for the special effects ?




Borosilicate glass:
Good temperature resistance and good thermal shock resistance but finite.
For normal, standard service typically 200-230°C, for short-term (minutes) service max 400°C
Maximum thermal shock resistance is 160°C

You could use compressed air and melted hot glue to throw web

Or do the same with sugar for instant cotton candy

I love the idea of instant cotton candy LOL. I think cotton candy is made with molten sugar/candy forced out of a spinner by centrifugal force. Perhaps pressure forcing the hot candy out of a narrow set of holes and an air blast would have a similar effect. I will need to do some experimentation.

I had settled on a spider web gun. I can not modify the costume as its hired so a hand held spider web gun is better (a tube containing the cans of silly string and a trigger) as its independent of the costume.

A cotton candy gun would be great fun for the children (and I must confess me too) even if its only fired in to a clean bucket.
