Inxens Gold Trident Prop, 48 in Plastic Costume Accessory

What size is this gold trident prop?

This gold trident prop is 48 in (about 122 cm) long, made of lightweight plastic and finished in gold with the classic three-prong head. It is made for adults and kids, and at that length it reads clearly in photos, on stage and in a parade line.

For scale: 48 in is exactly 4 ft, so on a child about 4 ft tall the trident is as tall as they are. On an average adult it reaches around chest height when the end rests on the floor, which gives the upright, held-at-the-side pose most sea god costumes use.

Which costumes use a gold trident?

• Poseidon or another sea god: a toga or robe and a crown. For kids, one of our gold paper crowns fits the theme.
• Ocean king or merman: green, blue or scale-print clothing, with the trident held upright.
• Mermaid: a gold trident suits a mermaid costume as well as a merman one.
• Devil: held prongs-up, the gold fork doubles as a devil's pitchfork. Add red devil horn hair clips and see our devil costume horns guide for clip-on versus headband styles.

Where else can you use it?

Beyond Halloween, the trident works for school plays and drama productions, themed birthday parties, Renaissance fairs, parades and photo booths. Between events it can lean in the corner of a themed room as a decorative piece.

How does it go together?

There is no complex assembly. The trident is detachable, with screw-together joints you tighten by hand, so no tools are needed. Twist the sections together until snug and it is ready, which helps with last-minute costumes and quick changes between characters. Unscrew it again to store or transport it.

Is a 48 in trident right for kids?

It is made for both adults and kids, but 48 in is a long prop for a young child to steer through a crowd. Have kids carry it upright, prongs up, and keep it for posing and parading. It is a plastic costume accessory, not a real fork or spear, so it is not for poking, jabbing or leaning on. Bringing it to a school event or convention? Check the organizer's prop rules ahead of time.
