1 MEET THE MAGICFX® CONFETTIPISTOL!

The MAGICFX® CONFETTIPISTOL is a handheld pistol-shaped electronic device for safe
shooting of MAGICFX

Before operation an electric cannon needs to be loaded into the barrel of the
MAGICFX® CONFETTIPISTOL. Two leaf springs hold the cannon in place. The MAGICFX®
CONFETTIPISTOL is equipped with a connector for the power cable of the cannon.
When the user pulls the trigger, the reloadable battery inside provides a current to the
cannon through this connection. This releases the pressurized nitrogen in the bottom
part of the cannon, shooting the confetti load into the air. With a fully loaded battery
the MAGICFX® CONFETTIPISTOL provides about 300 shots.
