New additions to the hire stock include:
The aladins lamp, which has 4 barrels firing flash cotton and flash paper to some 10' (3m), which with a little practise would allow a bigger pyro to be "set off" and the genie of the lamp appears! There is a picture of it on our props and handheld brochure on this site, type 208. But please note it is for adults only! for safety reasons. Please see our Videos page for a clip!
We have added more fake food with some plums and papayas for a more exotic show such as "Kismet". Again you will find these in the props and handhelds brochure.
We now have a range of telephones available for hire covering quite a wide era and geographical location. Also a similar range of cameras covering from 1916-to the 1980's. These too are in the same place. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD A PDF COPY FROM THE PAGE
We also have aircones which would easily mark the entrance to an event. They simply plug in and inflate with some lamps in the base it will give a gentle glow up the 6metres of the cone! Deflation takes about 30 seconds as well so it is a quick and simple effect.
New on the sales front is the handheld confetti gun which is great fun! Simply remove the paper cover and safety band, a sharp twist and confetti everywhere!.... and only £18.00 plus the vat, good value for money! 
ETC who make Source Four, have now produced a 70 and 90 degree version for big images at short throws. More information to follow soon!
Also new from Zero88 is the Juggler desk which is a 12/24 channel DMX desk with manual cross fade with chases available for the more adventurous user. This replaces the level 24 which was a bit limited in its features.
Don't forget to have a look at the props and handhelds as there are many, many bits which you may find useful.
