A man with an apparent talent for magic tricks has left internet
users completely baffled after showing himself shooting fireballs from
his own hand.
According to Mirror Online, Adam invented the incredible device from scratch, and now uses the amazing trick to leave baffled onlookers in awe of his apparent superhero powers.
Adam, 35, said: “I’ve been into magic since I was six.
“I came up with this idea after playing around with some flash paper –
I was sitting in my living room playing with an old gimmick that was
made to shoot a single fireball out of a copper tube.
“While I was playing with it – and after setting my smoke alarm off for the hundredth time – I realised it could be a cool trick.
“The
science behind it is fairly simple – the load is made by something
called flash paper, which is a very lightweight paper that is soaked in a
chemical, which burns very bright and very fast.
“When you light flash paper it ignites very quickly and burns into nothing, leaving no trace of the paper.
“If you then load it into a tube with only one exit point, you have pyro.
“Pyro is essentially tubes that are closed off at one end – the closed end has a glow plug in it, so it can ignite the flash paper from inside the tube.
“Once the paper is loaded it’s pushed down until it contacts the glow plus, and you’re good to go.
“You trigger the remote which then turns on the glow plug, igniting the flash papers inside the barrel.

“You trigger the remote which then turns on the glow plug, igniting the flash papers inside the barrel.
“Because there is only one opening for the energy to escape
from, you get a fireball shooting out of the barrel in a magnificent
form.
“The reactions have been amazing – it’s been overwhelmingly heartfelt and positive, everyone loves it.
“One time I had to explain to the TSA why I was carrying three
‘fireball shooters’ with me on a cross-country flight – I ended up doing
a 30 minute magic show to demonstrate that they were props.
“It’s a professional pyrotechnic device that should be used by
adults only – effectively it launches fireballs from your apparently
empty hands, so there is absolutely an inherent danger to it.
