Reddit reviews 20 Pairs - Neon Prism Diffraction Fireworks Glasses - For Laser Shows, Raves

We brought diffraction glasses with us last year and they were a blast! A nice plus was giving them away to people in the Sahara and seeing their face light up when they put them on.

So far...

• GLOW STICKS - I bought 1,000. Last year I did the same and it was so much fun throwing them around the Sahara tent. I hope people don't mind. Everyone seemed to love when I handed them out.
  
• and these awesome glasses.
  
  

Thanks! Actually, the input two input images were taken on my phone, using [prism diffraction glasses] (http://www.amazon.com/20-Pairs-Diffraction-Fireworks-Glasses/dp/B005JT5P7A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398459965&sr=8-1&keywords=fireworks+glasses) at a lake near where I live. I then used a morphing software called [Fantamorph] (http://www.fantamorph.com/index.html) to blend the images together. In the program, you can set anchoring points to aid in the transitioning effect, but I make hundreds and hundreds of anchors until the program almost crashes (and sometimes it does) trying to do the render. I then export the morph to a video file from Fantamorph, importing it into Photoshop as layers/frames and further tweak sharpening and layer effects until I get something I like. Then, export as GIF from PS.

Here are the input images:

Lmao, you inspired me to go and find a link to some of the glasses like in OP's post. Apparently they're called "diffraction glasses"!

I bought [these] (http://smile.amazon.com/Lite-Up-Diffraction-Multi-Pack-Transparent/dp/B01D3T065I/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8) ones. And the heart ones were AMAZING!! The spirals were okay.

I also bought [these] (http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B005JT5P7A) ones (mostly because they were cheap) & they look pretty cool in my kitchen...just waiting to bust them out & share them during EDC!

20 pairs for $7, makes a great souvenir to give out at parties and raves.

Drawstring or camelback with 2 small packets and a large pocket. Don't bring a school backpack and you should be fine. Sealed gum and sealed Chapstick are good ideas, as is a bandana for dust. Diffraction glasses are cool too, regardless of drug use.

Will arrive by Monday at the latest

I always buy a bunch of these before I go to festivals and hand them out, people actually lose their minds. Definitely a worthwhile investment, you can get 20 on amazon for like 8 bucks. Heres the link

Glowsticks aren't allowed so stash them well. Fingerlights are allowed so you can bring them without worrying about them being hidden. Fireworks glasses don't glow, but they enhance all other glow toys and stage lights.

You might want to check out /r/edcny since this subreddit is basically for Vegas.

I went to EDC NY the past two years...at MetLife the first year and then Citi Field last year. MetLife is MUCH better and you're lucky that it's back there this year. While the lineup doesn't have some big names, there are plenty of people to see. Branch out and experience new music! My first year, I didn't know many of the smaller DJs, but I had a blast discovering new music and new names to listen to and now some of those DJs are my favorite. One thing I can't stress enough, go experience Carl Cox & Friends! Cox is amazing and most people don't get many chances to see him.

I usually take a little backpack or fanny pack with a few essentials...and then things like lollipops, gum, vicks, paper diffraction glasses to hand out, and glowsticks. I bring enough of everything, so I can share and hand it out to other people. Like you, I usually just wear a casual/comfy outfit and add a bunch of Kandi singles to trade with people. We all wore neon body paint, but I didn't dress up more than that.

I definitely recommend staying in a hotel. MetLife is in New Jersey, so it's still a little bit of a trek from the city. Even though I lived in Manhattan, I didn't want to deal with public transportation and waiting to go back into the city. The trains were a mess after the festival and it was nice going back to our hotel room to relax and freshen up. I think we stayed at the Extended Stay in the Meadowlands. It was about $140/night and 6 of us managed to fit in the room.

I totally recommend buying a camelbak! They're decently priced on Amazon, I think I bought mine for $50. EDC is amazing with water and had free refill stations, so I only had to fill up the camelbak 3 times a day and my friends and I were able to stay hydrated without a problem. Yes, you can also refill your water bottles, but then you have to keep going back, which can be annoying if you don't want to miss a set. Alcohol was pretty expensive. It was $10 per beer I think.

There's tons of after-parties in the city afterwards, but my group and I were always way too tired to make it back into Manhattan. We actually enjoyed going back to our hotel room to chill, drink/smoke and hangout. There were also a lot of parties happening in the hotel we were staying at. But, there will be plenty of parties in the city if you want that option (you'll have to buy tickets/pay cover).

I've never been to EDC in Vegas, which is on my bucket list...even though EDC NY doesn't compare, it is amazing on its own. I liked it WAY more than Electric Zoo. The second year wasn't as great because Citi Field was cramped, but MetLife is a great location. There's plenty of space between stages and plenty of places to just sit and relax. I also loved the art installations and carnival rides. It added a whole new level to the experience. Most importantly, unlike Electric Zoo, I liked the crowd. They were friendly and most people didn't shove and push to get to the front, so I had space to dance in the back without being bothered. A lot has changed in two years, so it might be different. It's still one of my favorite festivals/events I've been to though.

Have fun with your friends, enjoy the music, and you'll have a great time.

Someone on /r/aves made this guide that you might want to check out, but it appears to be more for camping festivals. Let me know if you have any more questions!

I bought these last year. They are cheap and made of paper, but they get the job done and you have 49 of them to give away. I have a nicer set for myself now, but for 40 cents a pop, you can't beat them for things to give out

Edit: Cheaper here, only 12 cents per pair. Damn

Right!

I make my own luck!

Firework Glasses would be awesome if I win!
