Looks like you got through at least a pack of cards Don

(I will have bring my own if I come for a game of Bridge

), The fact that you got the cut card is quite incredible. Maybe you should drop grapes (from a great hight) on to the trigger and see what results you get (and make a fruit salad at the same time

)
I have just found some party poppers, I will give them a go later just to see what sort result I get.
You gave it a very good try Don, Is there no way of slowing the pellet?
