except i didnt use any powder in the balloon,i blew a little air into it before filling with water to make a louder pop and instead of trigger trap i got a new toy called a pluto trigger which just came out. this was my first photo with it,since i just got it yesterday

If it was to color the water, they didn't mix it up thoroughly. I posted that video since they had so much fun doing it. as a technical guide it really is not that good.

I like the textured effect you got with the water exploding out from confinement - it's wonderful.

I bet you're going to have a lot of fun with your new trigger!
