flash pots
Theatrical fire bursts
Flash pots are pyrotechnic devices used in theater, concerts, and film to create sudden bursts of flame, smoke, or bright light.
They contain flash powder in a small container, ignited electrically on cue for dramatic effect: The band's entrance was marked by flash pots exploding across the stage.
Professional handling is essential—flash pots have caused serious injuries when misused.
