Jim, what's going on in that first picture and the video "next" to it?
It looks like a comely young woman, dressed as a magician's assistant, is
taking the entire "lightning" discharge through her finger. I presume this
is some sort of trick? Why does her finger (presumably, carefully placed
in the "inside" of the cage) attract most of the bolts (N.B. there's a
short You Tube video just after the picture in Jim's first link)?
