Hi Mark, Terry

The coil will break out easily without the "director", but the sparks
don't always go where I want them to. I almost always use a director
on my large coils. There are a lot of transmission line strikes if I
don't use a director on the magnifier.

Kudos! Great job on the video Terry! I really like it and can't wait
to see what you do with the magnifier footage.
