- FUN WITH MATCHES -


1. This is a cool smoke bomb that I made one day when I was bored.  All you
need is some foil and wooden matches.  You can NOT use paper matches or you
will have #2 as a result.  The wood on the wooden matches take up more space 
so you will naturaly not have as much powder as if you had the thin paper 
matches.  Just take the WOODEN matches and cut the heads off.  How many you 
cut is really up to you.  The more you cut the bigger and more smoke.  Take 
the piece of foil and dump all the heads in.  Now pack them in tight and make 
the foil thick.  Just leave a little space in the top for a fuse.  Crimp the 
foil around the fuse and light!!  This is not a slow burning, long lasting
kind of smoke bomb like the ones you buy at the fireworks stand.  This baby
smokes hard and fast!!!  It only lasts a seconds but I think its fun to do
if you have nothing else to do.


2. This one looks good during the day or night!!  It is kind of a flaming match
head fountain.  It shoots out burning match heads into a flower shape.  You
can make a really big display if you use over 2000 matches.  TRUST ME ITS
WORTH IT!!!!!  Take PAPER matches and rap them in foil just like you did in file 
#1. (Cut of the Heads)Stick the fuse in, light it and RUN!  This can be improved 
if you have gasoline all over the ground......


3. Take a candle and rap it in foil.  At the top, open the foil so it makes
a lip at the top.  Fill this with matches.  After the candle is burning for
a few minutes.....BIG FLAME!
