There are 37 special effects used in the show.

It took a year and a half to develop the The Enchantress' fireball and it is
the first known throwable hand-held device of its kind. She can hold the ball

uses one ounce of liquid butane per hand per show. In the last ten years it has
burned 700 pounds of butane.
