Cold Spark

PYRO! I’M FINALLY ON A TOUR WITH PYRO!

Well, almost. This is actually what’s known as cold spark, shot from, imaginatively, cold sparklers.

It assures you can enjoy a Rammstein-approved show without minor inconveniences like the venue burning down, or the charring of various tour personnel. It also means, as pictured below, that you can fire off confetti during the encore and watch it blow, consequence free, into what appears to be open flame. Neat!

It’s pretty wild - you feel a small amount of heat, as you would standing next to any large-ish light, but you can hold your hand over cold spark and be totally fine. And it’s hilarious eavesdropping on Train’s infinitely patient production manager explaining all this to fire marshals who are mostly just annoyed they’re not working the Brad Paisley show. 

I would say don’t try this at home, but you totally can.
