confetti cannons

Party burst tubes

Confetti cannons are handheld or mounted tubes that shoot bursts of confetti into the air, typically using compressed air or a small explosive charge.

They're standard equipment at celebrations, concerts, and sporting events—any moment calling for dramatic visual punctuation: Confetti cannons exploded as the clock struck midnight.

The effect is brief but memorable, showering crowds with colored paper or metallic streamers.
