This creates a pretty cool effect of crackling glitter. Fuse about 6 together to make a big wall of silver crackling glitter.

The comets are all bright white with loud crackles. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it did not achieve as much altitude as other comet cakes but the fast pacing makes this one better than most. $10 each is a bit steep for a comet cake though.

I shot two of these at once and had them placed pretty close together, which turned out to be a mistake. I was expecting a wall of glittering comets to erupt since I fired them at the same time. Even with two at once, I was not really impressed with this item. The pacing is decent considering the number of shots, but the comets weren't really that great.
I agree about the price being a bit too steep for a comet cake like this. If it was fanned maybe it would be worth it, but the effects are too concentrated and not intense enough.
The only way I would ever use this cake again is if I got a case at a good wholesale price. I would make a row of them with a distance of 5ft between each cake. Then electrically fire them all at once. If you aren't planning on doing something like that, then don't waste your money on this one.

This is a relabel china item that has the same name. Look for the original item it will be alot cheaper and do the same thing. Do not buy this from Phantom and pay a premuim when you can get this from some other retailer that doesn't just sell there brand item.

This piece is not a show stopper. However, it was a nice piece to have in the show.

the product itself is great, especially when used in multiples, i love using them for added flash, it is a china standard, and you can find an "no-Name" brand for less and the results will be comparable
