UPDATED: STADIUMSHOT III. - Products
A TRUSTED CLASSIC. REFINED FOR THE FUTURE.
The STADIUMSHOT III has been part of the MAGIC FX lineup for years. Renowned for its explosive power and compact design, it has helped create unforgettable moments on the world's biggest stages. From packed stadiums to massive festivals, it has become the go-to tool for show designers and FX operators who demand reliable, high-impact confetti and streamer effects.
And now, it's even better.
We didn't reinvent the STADIUMSHOT III—we refined it. Based on user feedback and real-world experience, we've introduced updates that make the machine more versatile and easier to work with. The result? A product that continues to deliver what it does best, but with smarter features built in.
“The idea wasn’t to change what people already love—it was to make it even more intuitive and flexible for today’s productions.”
Steef, Product Developer
WHAT’S BEEN UPDATED?
Arm Override Switch
We’ve added the option to integrate your own safety system. The standard SFX SAFETY ARM SYSTEM is still there. But now, the Arm Override Switch lets you choose. Turn the key to ‘on’ for our safety system, or to ‘off’ to use your own compromising safety.
Improved Electronics & Pneumatics
Cleaner internals, fewer couplings, and streamlined airflow make for smoother operation and easier maintenance—especially on the road.
Optimised Layout
The pressure gauge has been moved to the opposite side of the machine, so all couplings are now in one place. Pressure can be read from either side. The tank’s drain valve has also been repositioned to the bottom for more effective moisture removal. These are small details, but they make a big difference in day-to-day use and machine lifespan.
