Order through a secret-keeper

Ask a trusted person to receive the result, choose the matching pink or blue option and check the order. Leave receipts and packages with that person if you want to stay surprised. Keep original packaging and all instructions and labels intact; never obscure them. Read the current shipping information before planning around an arrival date.

Before an outdoor effect

An adult must follow the exact label for placement, protective equipment and clearances. Keep people upwind outside the operating area and plume. Never use indoors, hold an active device or put it inside a prop. Make children’s, pets’ and pregnant participants’ photographs smoke-free; use a separately photographed outdoor prop-only frame for an effect composite. The planning guide covers rehearsal, changing conditions and cleanup.
