I recently switched almost all of my 18M's back to onboard cues instead of quickplugs. I may swap back as needed in shows, but the quickplugs are not only more expensive, but I have had to spend a...

Would the drones in this show (or any other show for that matter) be as cool or exciting without the pyro? I find 99% of all drone shows are incredibly boring. There may be one or two cool moments,...
Based on the size, I would guess its a 1.3 product, but it could very well be a 1.4 firework cake with a 1.4 smoke cake as well. It is a beautiful effect.
As best as I can tell, I had 2 problems in my May show (Radioactive). The first one is that I didn't let the DMX fully load, and that impacted the same module which had cues not fire early, because...
Thank you! Elegant is the word I have heard most to describe this show, and it is exactly what I was going for!
That is a roman candle called The Big Stubby, basically go-getters but in roman candle form. I love them! A lot cheaper than go-getter cakes, but a bit more difficult to get the start time right....
These were a few of the ThunderKing Instant cakes at the very end.
I had my dad, my aunt, and my cousin help on shoot day. I did so much prep ahead of
Time. The big difference was my dad had a trailer that we were able to haul everything from the barn to the field....
Thank you for your comments. I have a PGI display training and have met all the requirements for a display operator (but not required in my state). I don’t want to mess with the ATF, so I stick with...
Thanks for the complements! I love every part of this show so much!! It is just how I envisioned it.
That horsetail/waterfall cake is is 2 parts of a 4 part compound cake, Golden Shower by Night...

More technical stuff posted in the Articles of Pyrotechnics section of these boards, but a NEAR perfect show! I couldn't be happier with how this turned out!

I couldn't be happier with how my show turned out this year. Nearly 1000 cues, Cobra Fired, DMX, and scripted with Finale 3D Pro. I had 3 ground flame effects and 3 comet/mines not fire. The rest was...
I have been following this discussion closely on the Facebook groups. Personally, if there are more regulations, I will probably liquidate everything and get out of the hobby by the time these come...
Can you take the wrapping off and see how it is fused? Zshape vs. H or X shape should be able to tell by the fusing inside.
I am pretty sure they failed to pop. I pulled everything that didn't fire into one area of storage and I will investigate this week. Since I don't have any help with my shows, I just finished...
Actually, it was a 500g Maltese Ring cake by Dominator. There were 3 of those cakes in the show and one of them completely busted apart. The other low break was the same cake from a different...
I will have to find a way to run something like that up to where I sit. The problem is the power source is down and away from the audience. I do use a kill switch like that when testing them.
I actually had 2 lift charges fail in my small fuel mines last night! After the show, one of the professionals that came to my show was able to get one to fire by using a more powerful charge through...
In the video below, you will see 3 positions about 40ft apart and I am shooting all 1.4 or 1.4Pro consumer product. The biggest shell breaks are 62mm Dominator Pro Shells. This might give you an...
If you watch my video at the 2:58minute mark, you will see a large 500g ring cake CATO and send the last three large shells flying into the woods! Always secure your cakes, no matter how big!...
Those were strobe pots at the beginning of the last song, and the red flashes in the middle were .5second Dominator Flame Bursts.
Yeah, that was me walking out there to fix it. They have a max leave on time of like 3-5 seconds I think. I was worried it was going to overheat and melt or explode the fuel can (Starter Fluid). I...
Here are the links to my backyard show from last night. I started this show with the intention of it being a product dump for things I didn't want to store over the winter. However, I had bad weather...
