1 MEET THE MAGICFX® CONFETTI GUN!
The MAGICFX® CONFETTI GUN is a handheld gun-shaped electronic device for safe shooting of
MAGICFX® electric confetti cannons.
Before operation one, two or three electric confetti cannons need to be loaded into the barrel(s)
of the MAGICFX® CONFETTI GUN. Each cannon is held in place in the barrel with a thumb screw.
Each barrel 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. The MAGICFX® CONFETTI GUN can be operated in Single Shot or Full Shot
mode. Furthermore the gun is equipped with a built-in laser and a shoulder belt. With a fully
loaded battery the MAGICFX® CONFETTI GUN provides about 1000 (single) shots.
