The samurai sword fired out real-life, lightning-like electricity using a Tesla coil, but viewers couldn't help but compare it to a cheap movie scene.

Orchestra, an entertainment engineering company that regularly uses Tesla coils for shows across the world.

"The tesla coil is off to the left and you can't see it. What's underneath Allen is an electrically insulating platform we rigged up. The top of this platform is metallic and is connected to the output of the tesla coil so that the sparks come out of Allen as he stands on top of this in a protective full-body chainmail suit. The suit acts as a"Faraday Cage" and protects Allen from the very dangerous sparks," explained founder Ian Charnas.

"For example if we turn the spark on and off 440 times per second, you will hear an A note—specifically A4, which is the A string on a Violin or the A above middle C on a piano. It's terrifying to see these large sparks in person, and hearing them play music is a wonderful surprise," said Charnas.
