If I were to take an empty soup can, make a little hole in the bottom, put a cherry bomb in with the fuse sticking out the little hole, and top it with creamer...do you think this would work?

@miguethekiller - I think that sounds pretty interesting and I don't see why it wouldn't work. The gunpowder flash is what is necessary to ignite the creamora. If you try it and it works, let me know. Thx.

when you say "top it off" do you typically use about an inch of creamer/calf substitute?

[mxacree]

@berger1980 ...It depends on how big of a fireball that you want. An inch or so of creamora would make a small fireball. In the video, I use about 2 inches or so in that small bucket. You could fill the bucket completely for a larger fireball.

You're a pyrotechnician and you don't know where to buy BP?

And you state that you are going to make your own BP but ask where to buy it? Strange...

Charcoal is cheaper (free) and makes a fireball that is just as good or better depending on the wood. Even charcoal scrounged after a fire and ground fine in a coffee grinder or blender will work just fine if dry.

Dude making it yourself costs a lot less. Buying it is super expensive .

sorry for any confusion... I was trying to say that up until now i've had to make my own, but i just want to start buying it instead. thanks for the info

I'm a pyrotechnician myself, and me and my friends make movies. we need a special effect using a cremora and i'm forced to make my own black powder, but we will need severa takes, so i was wondering where I could buy black powder? particularly the one use use.
