Sorry didn't get any good video of this but thought you might like to see what 215 Roman Candles looked like when all sticky matched together.

Nice work. Did you have it all go off at once? When did you use it in your show?

I think this belongs in racks and launchers.

I would say that is debatable?? Is a one time setup for that one show, and was done using the box from the case or romans???

Yeah it went off all at once. once the Sticky on the side of the box was lit the entire case shot a total of 1720 candle balls into the air. Was very neat looking. Lamrith and I started the show with it.

Rapidshot, I just went to your web site. Cool photos.

Is Toppano an Italian name? As I've mentioned before, fireworks seems to be a hobby most popular with Italians and rednecks.

:lol: That's what cement blocks are for, right?

The Italian-redneck connection struck me very early on. As soon as I started getting into fireworks, I began making the acquaintance of lots of "name ends with a vowel" guys.

I am aware, of course, that pyros come in every race and ethnic group, and that yes, there are lady pyros. But still, there seems to be an overrepresentation of rednecks and Italians.

A funny thing: On July 4, I went over to see a show a redneck friend was shooting for a private party. The family hosting the party was genuine straight-off-the-boat Italian -- and apparently quite wealthy. And I'm thinking this is of course what a rich Italian family would do: Hire a redneck to shoot their 4th of July fireworks. That's what makes America great! :lol:

HAHAHA! yup its Italian! My family tells me I was born into the world with a sparkler in one hand and a shell in the other. Thanks for the compliment on the Photos :)
