The Ping Pong Triplet

Name: The Ping Pong Triplet

Materials:

  • 3 Ping Pong Balls
  • 3 Half-Way-Cut Sparklers
  • Lots of Sparkler Dust
  • 20cm/7.8" flammable Tape
  • Stanley Knife/X-acto Knife

Steps:

  1. Cut a hole in the top of each ping pong ball with the stanley knife.
  2. Fill the ping pong balls with sparkler dust.
  3. Put the half sparklers sticking out of each ping pong ball.
  4. Connect them (the sparklers) together with flammable tape.
  5. Light one end of the flammable tape.

Details:

When all of the sparklers burn down you will have a big explosion flying out of the holes you made in the top of the ping pong balls. It will eventually die down and burn it's self out but it is preferable to put it out as soon as it has gone off in case of a wind.
