Just wondering whether anyone here has any ideas for SFX you don't normally see in displays? ( ) All I can think of so far is cremoras...
Thanks loads!

And thanks for the welcome
P.S. A minute ago, one thing I thought of was a bundle of sparklers at either side, maybe with 20/30 sparklers each, all lit at once? That could start it quite well, especially if it was through a layer of smoke from smoke canisters etc?
What do you think?
Thanks again ,
Joe

Bundling sparklers can lead to a mass explosion, it's really not a good idea.
As portfire mentioned strobe pots can be a very effective/unusual start to a display. If you can get your hands on some bengal flares these are also a nice idea for something different... Kimbolton make them, never heard of anyone else offering them.
Another idea would be to make a nice fan of fountains using commercial pyro strapped to a frame, not something you usually see and a great effect.
I would suggest ghost mines but it sounds like you should leave that kind of stuff till you have a little more experience.
