neon rings around secondary?

I just saw a music video which gave me an idea for the coil we run in 
the Frankenstein section of our haunted house each year.

I realize that all of the HV effects in this video are computer 
generated, but I am wondering if I could do something similar.  I 
have a number of the neon rings that kids put around the woofers in 
speaker boxes.  I know how to make them cycle, etc.

If I put them around the secondary on the coil would they be 
instantly fried, or is this possible.

BTW, the effect I am talking about starts a little past 1:00 into the video.
