Halftime shows at college football games are boring, but they don’t have to be. Not since the invention of this, the flame trombone. Made from plumbing, torch and compressed air parts, it has a 21-foot range with the fireball, and is actually a working trombone, although the only one in existence with a recoil.

All we’re waiting for are the guys with the fire trumpet and the burning tuba, and we’ve got ourselves a pretty bad-ass marching band.
