Having myself just done the Discovery Channel shoot with 6 foot sparks with 
an earthed chain mail glove and short rod (no suit) the 1-2 foot sparks 
seemed a little underwhelming. Still good exposure and he would not have 
been able to use a much bigger coil in a studio with $$$ of equipment 
around.
I'm sure Dr Megavolt would have been more impressive with his twin 9ft Tesla 
coils like he had at Burning Man 2006. Then you need the suit.
