This is how you make a tennis ball explode and if you add enough matches, you can make it look like a mini napalm bomb (same look, not effect on surroundings).

Step 1  

Buy a tennis ball.

Step 2  

Buy about 750 matches. (Walmart, grocery stores, etc.)

Step 3  

Cut open tennis ball.

Step 4  

Cut off strikers from match boxes.

Step 5  

Cut the match heads off of every match.

Step 6  

Glue strikers to the inside walls of the tennis ball. Make sure that they surround the WHOLE inside.

Step 7  

Fill tennis ball with match heads.

Step 8  

Be gentle because hard enough movement will set off the match heads and waste your time.

Step 9  

Glue the hole you cut open in the tennis ball.

Step 10  

Wrap in 3 layers of duct/electric tape.

Step 11  

Make a fuse by dipping string in anything flamable (gas, lighter fluid ...)

Step 12  

Throw in an open area.

Tips

  • Make sure the tape around the tennis ball is tight.
  • Fill the tennis ball 100%.

Warnings

  • Do in a very open area because match heads can release sparks up to 50 feet.

Things You'll Need

  • 750 match heads
  • Tennis ball
  • Knife (Or something else to cut a hole in the tennis ball)
  • Match box strikers
  • Electric/duct tape
