Introduction: Glow in the Dark Shadow Wall

Take “Glow-in-the-Dark” to a new level with a full size “Shadow Wall''.  This life-sized wall utilizes a camera flash and will take a “picture” where the shadows will stay dark and the background will glow.  The image will slowly fade away and be ready for the next set of shadows.  Shadows can include people and objects, even in motion!  “Drawing” on the wall is also fun with a flashlight.
