I have a chrome P&L tube for the Firecracker trick. There is a elastic string with it. What else is missing? What was the basic concept of the trick? It looks interesting and quite classic. I doubt that I will ever use it, but I might display it.

Is the original firecracker inside? It might be wedged in, so don't just look inside and say it's missing. Recall the old brass nickles to dimes.

Oh yea - there she is! No wonder why P&L items are so collectible. Thanks

I'm pretty sure the Firecracker Trick is described in "The P & L Book," together with the original instructions, but I don't have it in front of me at the moment.

A great book even if you don't own any P & L equipment, click HERE for more info. SETH

Thank you - I did not know that this book existed!

FYI -- There is a Firecracker routine in Rice Encyclopedia Vol 1, p. 498 -- Ching Soo Fire Cracker.
