The dark salute is fascinating, even though the composition is "officially" no-no.

Amazing precision of effects and timing. What about the 'clock' bursts at 6.45 et al!

A lot of people give themselves grand titles, but this guy really is 'The Master'. Hats off...

I believe this is that annual secret `Desertblast` meeting by invitation only, truely inspiring with incredible combinations of effects,...did I see a blinkered red rain effect? As Dr Thrust said, I too prefer this singular firing of very high quality shells than watching the normal cat 4 displays.

Has anyone seen the part 1 & 2 construction vids on how he makes them?

I have just had another look,the precision is amazing.

[dr thrust]

yes the precision is amazing, but were not talking about going to the moon here, we have chemicals, we have kraft, we have formula, we have technique, but do we have the get up and go?

Just as a little note, you can make "low light" salutes out of potassium ferricyanide, potassium nitrate and a small amount of potassium perchlorate. Though it's very sensitive (grind it in a mortar and pestle to find out) it definitely isn't as unstable overall. It has that same "gaseous" thunder-roll like sound which had the fellow in the video laughing his head off.

Unfortunately we also have UK law

Unless you live on your own island, it's going to be very hard to perfect your technique to that extent with the odd furtive test...

If we were allowed to, I'm sure we could do superb stuff - UKPS has brilliant and inventive people, but we are shackled hand and foot.
