I saw this in the Globe and Mail this week and had to share it. It's not often that a comic strip resonates so well with what we do here.

Sad News at BEM

This morning, as most of us were on our way to work, an explosion and fire tore through BEM Fireworks outside of Montreal, leveling two building and taking the lives of two of their staff.

Our thoughts are with Bernard Masson and his family and staff, and the family and friends of those who lost their lives this morning.

For those of us that play with fire, this is our biggest fear.

More Confetti Madness

This morning, sipping my first coffee of the day, I read a promotional piece from one of our confetti suppliers. They credit a Master Confettiologist with inspiring the great work they do.

Well, we have a Confettiologist or two of our own here at AirMagic. Here's a few pictures from recent events - indoor and outdoor - that Matt, our Master of Confetti Arts, has shot recently.

Here we are at the newly re-branded Tanger Outlet Mall, on highway 400. If you were passing by that day on your way to the cottage or the casino you would have witnessed clouds of red and white filling the afternoon sky.

Here we are back in the CBC Atrium. This is one of the best places to shoot Confetti in Toronto. We can set our gear up along the railings of one of the higher floors and literally make it rain confetti. We love working there!

Here's Matt's work again, at L'Oreal's Colour Trophy Awards Show. The runway is full of confetti from the opening shot. Matt created subtle low clouds of fog to set the mood for this part of the show.

Our store is up and running. Our shipment from Royale came in yesterday. These Cakes are amazing. Bright, bombastic, high, with beautiful colours.

If you're shooting Fireworks this weekend, you must have one of these in your arsenal.

Here's a few pics to whet your appetite. See ya'all soon

Getting ready for Victoria Day

When I was a boy, May meant "Firecracker Day." It was the Queen's birthday. I found that very confusing - wasn't the queen's name Elizabeth?

Despite the confusion, May 24 remained the big night. We'd spell our names in the air with sparklers, my dad would light our meager assortment of roman candles and little volcanos, and we'd revel in the conflagration of the Burning School House.

When my kids were young I was the "fireworks guy" at the schoolyard, the neighbourhood Gandalf, delighting kids and parents alike.

My kids grew up behind the counter on Victoria Day weekends, helping the next generation to pick out the best and the brightest.

Surrounded yet again by fireworks, my beautiful daughters will be back beside me this year, along with the rest of the AirMagic team, selling the best damn bangs and booms available today. C'mon down and see us.

This year we are offering a curated selection picked from the thousands of fireworks imported into Canada each year.

We are featuring fireworks designed by two of Canada's most imaginative maestros of the sky.

... AND we're the exclusive Ontario dealer for the amazing

ROYAL FIREWORKS CAKES!!
