I prefer a 50 gal trashbag full of acetylene and oxygen.

Nuclear purple flash, a bang that'll echo for 10 seconds (at least in
the hudson valley), surprisingly little destructive power, and no
evidence except tiny bits of melted plastic.

I was thinking, buy 3-4 helium balloons, tie one balloon full of O/A
to them, add a fuse, light the fuse and let it fly up in the air
before exploding. Kids might like it.

Don't. If you want to fuss around with
acetylene, get some calcium carbide and
play with it.


Why? An OA rig removes the evidence

I guess because I played around with it a lot
when I was a kid. I grew up in coal mining
country and it was easy to get. I never managed
to hurt myself worse than ringing ears and a
cuff from my dad. There's considerably more
potential for destruction with an O/A rig.
