Smartwatches may have a lot of firepower, but what about a wearable that lets you shoot actual flames from your hands?

The PYRO Fireshooter puts fireballs right up your sleeve. It attaches to the underside of the wrist and contains four individually triggered barrels, each able to launch a fireball 10 feet.

The PYRO is sold by Ellusionist, an online resource for magicians or students of the craft of magic, for $174 (you must be 18 or over to purchase). One PYRO comes with enough flash cotton and paper for 60 fireballs, plus a wireless remote.

The goal of Ellusionist founder Brad Christian is to give people the power to perform and be the life of any party.

Just be careful not to burn the party down.

“This is not a toy,” Ellusionist declares on the product page for the PYRO Fireshooter. “This is a badass professional device that allows you to launch fireballs from your open palm. At Ellusionist, we’re continually striving to make you look like a SuperHero.”

But before unleashing the power, Ellusionist urges the operator to watch the safety and instructional video that comes with the device.

On it, PYRO’s developer, Adam Wilber, shows how to correctly use and maximize the “wow” from your friends and audience.

Wilber even models “badass” on the website’s product video, which features a dramatic rock soundtrack and a mysterious walk through the desert.
