but what if you accidentally step into a puddle? it would hurt like hell and fry you gimmick.
or if it rains and for some reason you were outside for some reason?
No, it wouldn't. You could just have the ET turned off. Or. . . not active. You don't have a constant current running through your body.
Of course, this makes using it with Control a bit more difficult. Suffice to say that unless you built your own set-up with a different activation (like some enterprising people have done, and I plan to do eventually), the posture that Wayne uses would not work. At all.
And. . . as for setups. "Pro" isn't the best set-up for ET. It sounds like you're tapdancing. . . and you have to seriously mess up a pair of shoes.
There's a setup on the secret forum that is much better, and you don't have to permanently embed your ET. The PET or something. . . it's what I use.
My favorite effect is having someone select a card, and then pressing it against a wall. It sticks. I have them take it down, and try sticking it to the wall. Naturally, it falls. I laugh, say I'll help them, and put a hand on their shoulder/back.
They try again, and it sticks.
I usually patter about new-age thinking and auras and crystals and stuff. It's pretty funny, to be honest.
Also, kissing someone with the ET = absolutely hilarious. Painful, but funny.
