Or go to www.allmagic.com and click the advert for hanklee's magicstore. They might have something there.

Hi! ok, if you look for something that simulates a bullett hitting the wall, etc. the best thing would probably be to look out for a shop that sells pyrotechnical stuff for movies and therelike - you get little charges and detonators (sounds dangerous, doesn`t it ?) that are normally used to create this bullet-hits-the-wall (car/window/taxman - you name it) effect - could also be used to detonate a balloon i guess - you get them from tiny to massive but be prepared to spend a bit as they aren`t cheap - you also get all the remote stuff to ignite it - happy banging!

the best methods for bursting baloons Ive found is using nicrome wire. this wire when you pass electricity through it burns. I have only ever seen it for sale in the U.S , so what I recomend doing is getting some speaker wire and striping out a single fine strand. then hook it up to some electricity and it will burn. the best system for doing this is get a fused plug then wireup a switch. on the other end of the switch is your fine wire taped to a balloon. then plug in your plug and switch on the switch and your balloon will pop.
between your plug and the switch the wire can be as long as you like.
but the fine wire that pops the baloon should be less than 3 inches long.
The fine wire can be used for a variety of effects like lighting flash paper or lighting a fire torch.
I do not recomend doing this unles you have an idea about wiring up plugs etc or are not comfotable with using 220 volts. electric shock is dangerous so be carefull

I hope you can understand my explanation.
