Thanks all!
David, yes the blue touch paper is the real deal - so much easier to light than visco - probably why they don't use it any more!
Sorry - should have labeled the picss - I'll go back and edit the post, but for reference, the pile of tubes and wire is a 13 case waterfall, the next is a horizontal wheel (titanium drivers spin it in opposing pairs and when the last pair fire the ones on top should give a rotating plume - should!) the last pic is a triple fountain which changes from titanium to crackle/bang half way through - it's about 1" bore and 8" long.
