1 MEET THE MAGICFX®SUPERBLASTER(XL)!
The MAGICFX®SUPERBLASTER and the MAGICFX® SUPERBLASTER XL are special eects
machines that blow confetti into the air.
Type Capacity Maximum shooting distance
MAGICFX®SUPERBLASTER 3-5kgs per minute 15m
MAGICFX®SUPERBLASTER XL 10-15kgs per minute 25m
Capacity and shooting distance
The MAGICFX®SUPERBLASTER (XL) is equipped with a CO2powered woofer. CO2is
blown into the woofer through small holes. This creates a Venturi eect that
continuously draws the confetti from the hopper, out of the woofer and into the air.
The eect is accompanied by a strong hissing sound. If liquid CO2is applied, a white
plume of smoke will be visible.
The CO2 supply is controlled by hand with the CO2 valve. To keep the eect going the
operator must continuously ll the hopper with confetti.
