At various points (like about 1:06 in) you can see what looks like his reflection to screen right… as if there was transparent enzapification prevention shield lining the cage.

” the Tesla Orchestra IS looking for some original music to perform”

How about George Hrab’s rendition of “Death from the Skies”?

If the next version of the Doctor Who Theme song doesn’t use these tesla coil instruments, I’m gonna be very disappointed.

I’m really sure, which is why I’m asking, but wouldn’t he have to be extremely cautious as to not touch the cage while a great amount of electricity is passing through it? Just wondering…

Adam Savage is awesome…but the man can’t dance (in a small cage getting zapped)!

Reminds me of these guys who do the music festival circuit around the world (amongst other things). Very cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THIUXnqXgrM

Oh man, cage dancing would be so much cooler if it was done in a Faraday cage!

So Adam is now a cage dancer, eh?

That is so cool.

There is something about the Doctor Who theme that just feels so right. The theme itself tells the story, if you listen.

Oh, that Savage. I was thinking Dan.

Hmm… on third thoughts, actually this one :

is perhaps better One Of These Days~wise?

With a tribute to ‘Space Odyssey : 2001′ too.

Too bad, when they did the body painting myth-bust, they didn’t use bronze paint instead of gold. Then he really could be Doc Savage, the Man of Bronze!

LOL.

Is this in any way related to Lady Gaga and-or the Tesla Orchestra: http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-05-tesla-lady-gaga.html

[FWIW, the Tesla Orchestra IS looking for some original music to perform, see link for details] :^)

So was this an ex-wifes or jamey’s idea.

I would love to do this. Partly for the sheer awesomeness, partly so I could pretend I was in “The Prestige”. Bonus points for the music.

(not as awesome as when I saw it done with a cage barely bigger than the person inside though…)
