Hi,

 I personally don't know what 80+ sparks feel like hitting your hand.
But I can say that I have held my hand up to my coil and it gives off
~3 foot streamers. It isn't really painful but it makes your muscles
contract and feel really weird. By the way if anyone is wondering I did
have myself insulated from ground and drew the sparks to me by using a 
12 inch copper pipe.
