Is there any sort of whipcracker "community"...or industry groups or something?

Asked by Heathers over 11 years ago

Yes , a lot even!There are facebook groups of whipcracking and whipmaking.There is also websites or forums with whipcrackers sharing ideas and tipps.Like bullwhip org or whip basic de to name just few.Then there are local clubs and workshops in America and england.

How close is the audience for your shows? How close does the cracking end of the whip get to them?

Asked by Paul over 11 years ago

It depends on the venue i'm performing at .Sometimes the place is really small , so i've had 50 cm-1m distance me and the audience in front of the stage.When it's that close and i don't have many space i use shorter whips or i make my routine diffently to be sure that i have enough space.But most of the time it's minimum 2 meters i would say to further away.

Where do you get your equipment from? Is it just a standard whip (whatever that is lol) or do they make special kinds for performers like you?
