MTFX launch Table Pyrotechnics range!

Table pyrotechnics

MTFX are excited to launch their new range of table pyrotechnics! These can be supplied in MTFX’s silk flower arrangements or candelabras, alternatively they can be fitted in to your own table centrepieces. They can all be fired remotely on a single cue for a dramatic wow factor or they can be fired sequentially to create a wave of pyrotechnics throughout the room. They are perfect for formal dinners, charity balls, awards ceremonies and many more occasions.

When in Rome

MTFX provided the special effects such as volcanic ash, fire, underwater explosions and rain for the most popular and successful show on Children’s BBC – The Roman Mysteries. Filming took place in Tunisia and Malta throughout the summer and autumn of last year. Tunisia was the setting for the eruption of Vesuvius, with falling ash, burning temples, fire and brimstone. And in Malta huge underwater explosions took place in a large water tank, with truly staggering end results. This fantastic new series is being shown on BBC1 on Tuesdays at 4.30pm.
