Mr. Tesla would put on shows like this one, to show people about energy.
He would use one of he's tesla coils, at low amp's and high volt (so not to kill)
with just he's body. all so this same is dun to day from time to time at los vagus.Tesla wanted to have free energy over the air waves and Nokia is working on a cell phone "Using the electromagnetic radiation emitted from WiFi transmitters, mobile phone antennas, TV masts and the like".but still i like criss angel's show. its cool. :)

I've been knocked the heck out by a Tesla coil because of what is called spark gap. Barring the long drawn out explanations, the smaller the gap, the less danger you are in. The reason why that coil was throwing so much voltage is because of the larger gaps, (used to produce larger arcs to simulate lightening.The Faraday shield on the other hand is a hollow conductor. It's designed to eliminate or cancel out the voltage, in essence you get an arc with no voltage. That's why others are perfectly safe.Chris however did not use a Faraday shield to cancel out the charge. He wore a mail suit and was getting hit with the raw voltage.The Faraday shield I believe only cancels up to about 100k volts though? You'd need a HUGE shield to cancel out 3 million.One a more serious note let's hope his curiosity doesn't do to him what it did to the crocodile hunter. Everyone thought he was all safe until he got stabbed through heart.
