James, we do this for a living :)

Try the following.....

An Ion Motor, looks VERY cool

Instead of just lighting tubes, try making a ring of tubes around the coil 
with the ends of the tubes about 6" from the next and all the tubes resting 
on 55gal drums (plastic ones). When one tube gets hit it will arc to ALL the 
tubes and they all light.

Make a Jesus stick from a NEW CLEAN AND DRY wooden pushbroom handle (you can 
get them for $5 at Menards. Attach a 1' long bit of copper pipe to the end 
with a wire running from the near end of the pipe to Ground.....make sure 
not to touch the wire....that would be bad. Use it to Catch streamers.
