The DJ drop
Colour jets or columns of sparks in front of the booth, on the second of the drop.
Effect · Le Maitre · Explo
Sparks, colour and powder at the right second.
Stage pyrotechnics, not fireworks: columns of sparks and colour jets for DJs, stages and stadiums, and clouds of coloured powder for weddings and gender reveals. Certified effects, fired remotely by our crew.
How it works
Inside the effect.
Certified stage effects
Each effect is a CE-marked theatrical pyrotechnic article, with height, duration and safety distances set by the manufacturer. We do not do fireworks rockets.
Remote firing
The effects are connected to a firing system and triggered by the operator at the exact second in the running order, with the effect zone in sight. Nothing is lit by hand.
Pyrotechnics with powder
Instead of sparks, the shot releases coloured powder as a cloud or a fan. It is the effect for the wedding cake cutting and for gender reveals: pink, blue or the event colours.
When to use it
Three moments that count.
Sports
The team walk-out or the goal
Lines of jets along the pitch, fired remotely at the right moment.
Weddings
The cake cutting
A fan of coloured powder behind the couple, with cold spark fountains beside the cake: the most important moment of the wedding.

Manufacturer data. The effects and quantities for each event are confirmed in the proposal.
Operated from our control desks: Avolites T3, Tiger Touch and Quartz, grandMA3 and grandMA2, and Wolfmix W1 MK3.
Safety
Planned before firing.
The plan of positions, distances and shots goes with the proposal.
- We only use certified stage pyrotechnic articles (categories T1 and T2). Category T2 articles may only be supplied to persons with specialist knowledge.
- We keep to the manufacturer's safety distances for each effect. For VS colour jets: 9 to 13 m in the direction of the effect and 2 to 3 m around it, depending on the height.
- The effects release smoke and some residue falls near the firing point. We notify the venue because of the detectors and choose the position with the production.
- Coloured powder settles around the firing point: we place it away from food, light-coloured clothing and sensitive equipment.
- We confirm the applicable rules and permits with the venue before every event.
Frequently asked questions
Before you ask.
Is it fireworks?
No. We do not do fireworks rockets. Stage pyrotechnics use certified stage effects, close to the audience and with controlled height and distances: columns of sparks, colour jets and clouds of powder.
Pyrotechnics or cold sparks?
Cold sparks are not pyrotechnics and are the usual choice for indoors and dance floors. Pyrotechnics bring colour, height and impact, above all outdoors, in stadiums and on large stages.
Does it work indoors?
Some effects are designed for indoor use, such as the cleaner-burning colour jets. It always depends on the venue rules: we confirm this during the site survey.
Do you do gender reveals?
Yes: a cloud of pink or blue powder, fired at the moment of the reveal.
And at the cake cutting?
It is the wedding moment we do most: cold spark fountains beside the cake, flames and a fan of coloured powder behind the couple, according to the rules of the estate or venue.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the effects, the quantities and the venue. Plan the moment and request a proposal: we reply with a tailored quote.
