Hello! I am new to this thread and very new to special effects. I am working at high school that is putting on a production of Wyrd Sisters in a limited space. There are a few times where the witches cast spells that cause mini explosions and/or sparks on stage. The little explosions can either happen on stage in the direction of the spell or come directly from the witches' fingers. Does anyone have any advice for how to accomplish this in a safe, relatively simple way? We have a limited budget ($200 for all props). Apologies if a thread answering this question already exists! I have read through a lot of the special effects threads but did not see anything that answered this specific question.
