Translation of Fanghandschuh in German-English

I work as an actor in the theater. I have studied English for seven years, French and Spanish for two years. Well, my level of Spanish is too low to have a good conversation, but I understand it.
Just last week a friend of mine showed me how to do these special effect, so I was focused about this word. I have been sleeping five hours a night for a week now and I am pretty tired all the time. Hopefully recovery will come soon.
It takes a lot of energy to go out and have fun. I do not have this energy at night, but still, I feel good. I love to watch Spanish and English movies on TV and sometimes I go to the movie theater.
