The present invention provides a special effects device for simulating sparks generated by combustion, electricity, or other means. The device may include light-emitting devices mechanically connected to extendable structures that are spatially dispersed by an actuator during the operation of the special effects device. The special effects device may be coordinated with a device for simulating combustion to give the impression of sparks generated by a combustion source.

A three-dimensional display system includes a first display and a second display spaced apart from the first display having one or more light sources configured to emit light and to illuminate the first display, where the first display is at least partially transparent such that the second display is visible through the first display. The three-dimensional display system includes a special effect system disposed at least in part between the first display and the second display and is configured to be activated to cause a special effect to be visible through the first display. The three-dimensional display system includes a controller communicatively coupled to the first display, the second display, and the special effect system.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing multi-point controls for a gas flame apparatus with a variable position gas flame trigger are described herein. For example, according to one embodiment there is a novelty apparatus including: a frame, in which the frame is comprised of a top frame resting upon a bottom frame; an output nozzle anterior to the frame; a tactical stock posterior to the frame; a tank mount attached to the frame to receive a fuel source tank; a gas line to feed gas from the fuel source tank into a gas inlet of the novelty apparatus; a grip affixed to the frame; a flame output system housed within the frame, in which the flame output system includes at least (i) the gas inlet to receive the gas line, (ii) a variable control plunger, (iii) a 4-way connector, (iv) a gas outlet, (v) a gas hard-line, and (vi) a burner tube; a trigger housed in the frame connected to the variable control plunger, in which pressing on the trigger releases the plunger to feed gas into the gas inlet from the gas line; an ignition system, wherein the ignition system includes at least (i) an igniter button, (ii) an igniter, (iii) igniter coils, and (iv) an igniter wire; a pre-set multi-point control system for flame management having a primary valve, an idle control valve and an igniter, in which pre-settings on the primary valve restrict tank flow; in which adjusting the pre-settings on the multi-point control system maintains an idle flame having a size that does not extinguish when the trigger releases the plunger and a pre-set increment of tank flow is released, transiting the idle flow to reach the burner tube; a structural reinforcement mount internal to the frame to provide rigidity and receive the tactical stock; and in which manipulation of the multi-point control system in coordination with the flame output system and ignition system results in the emission and maintenance of a flame. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

Present embodiments are directed to a system and method for generating a flame effect. An embodiment includes a nozzle assembly with an outer nozzle and an inner nozzle. At least a portion of the inner nozzle is nested within at least a portion of the outer nozzle. The system also includes a fuel source with two or more separate types of fuel.
