TO ESTIMATE SPACE REQUIREMENTS

A bullwhip is measured from the end of the handle to the end of the thong (the braided part of the whip).
Add to this the length of the lace-like "fall" and the lash itself (appx. 2 feet).
Then add to this the length of a man's arm (appx. 3 feet). The result is the radius (NOT the diameter!) of a circle of safe bullwhip handling.

For example, a 6-foot bullwhip should be given a clear 22 foot circle for the safety of the observers.

Ceiling height should be 1/2 to 2/3 of this number (ie a 6-foot whip needs a ceiling height of appx. 12-14 feet).
Ceiling should be unimpeded by fire sprinklers, lamps, chandeliers, etc.


Dante will create an entertaining and thrilling show specifically for your audience, ranging from a 2-minute routine to 20-minute Wild West shows. Blacklight whips can add a dramatic element to a regular indoor or stage bullwhip show. Sound system is available, and all music is legal for use. Dante carries $3 million liability insurance policy.
