MaxFX is Tasmania’s leading provider of special effects, pyrotechnics, and full-scale event production, proudly 100% Tasmanian-owned and operated by Launceston local Max Jago. As the state’s only event specialist who is both a licensed pyrotechnician and qualified electrical professional, we deliver a level of technical precision, safety, and creativity unmatched in the Tasmanian market. Together with our sister brand, Tas Crackers, we service events across Launceston, Hobart, Devonport, Burnie, and regional Tasmania—bringing world-class effects to local stages.
From weddings and theatre productions to concerts, sporting events, festivals, and corporate activations, we design and execute effects that transform moments into unforgettable experiences. Our production toolkit includes flame systems, spark fountains, spark jets, CO₂ jets, handheld CO₂ guns, bubbles, haze, snow, atmospheric effects, and indoor/outdoor pyrotechnic displays—including fully timecoded fireworks and special-effects shows synced to music for maximum impact. We also offer complete lighting, laser, sound, and vision hire, allowing every element of your event—stage picture, audio, and special effects—to work seamlessly together.
What sets MaxFX apart is our commitment to safety, compliance, and reliability. All effects are operated by licensed, insured professionals who manage venue liaison, risk assessments, exclusion zones, and regulatory approvals on your behalf. With advanced DMX and timecode integration, every cue fires exactly when it should—resulting in cinematic visuals, precise musical synchronisation, and stunning, photo-ready moments every time.
