Hi Dave,
Not sure if your receiver idea is practical. However, I do suggest
that you wrap the hand held fluorescent tubes in clear plastic food
wrap. This way if they are accidentally dropped the breakage may be
contained. I do this at Burning Man shows. Just my opinion.

I'd like to make a bunch of 3 foot fluorescent tubes for my upcoming
high voltage show at the Ontario Science Center. The idea is to hand out
6 or 7 of these into the audience then turn on the coil with just a very
small amount of current from the main variac. So without any visible
plasma discharge from the toroid, the lamps light up in the crowd and
boosts their anticipation.
I'd like to extend the range of these lamps and I thought of putting a
tuned receiver onto their ends.
