Special effects for live theatre?
I need a vase & then a statue to 'explode' on demand as if they were hit by a bullet.
Obviously we can't use explosives in front of a live audience in an 80 year old wooden theatre.
I am thinking of a solenoid actuator like something out of a pinball machine mounted inside a 'fragile' prop that will shatter/break at the press of a button.
Anybody got any good ideas?
I have the electronics know how, I just need to find the right solenoid actuator device.
