MaxFX is Tasmania’s leading special effects, production, and pyrotechnics company—100% Tasmanian-owned and proudly led by Launceston local, Max Jago. Together with our co-business Tas Crackers, we bring show-stopping moments to events across the state—Launceston, Hobart, Devonport, Burnie, and everywhere in between.
From intimate weddings and theatre to high-energy concerts, festivals, sporting activations, and corporate launches, our team designs and delivers safe, spectacular experiences that land exactly on cue. Our toolkit includes flames, spark fountains & spark jets, CO₂ jets & handheld CO₂ guns, bubbles, haze, snow, and indoor/outdoor pyrotechnic displays—including music-synchronised (timecoded) shows tailored to your soundtrack. We also provide lighting and laser production plus full audio-visual support, so your stage picture, sound, and special effects work as one.
What sets MaxFX apart is our precision and compliance. We’re licensed, experienced operators who handle risk assessments, venue liaison, safe distances, and approvals, and we integrate DMX/timecode control for tight musical timing and smooth transitions. The result? Cinematic looks, unforgettable peaks, and photo-ready moments that read beautifully in person and on camera—without the stress.
Whether you’re planning a wedding in Launceston, a corporate event in Hobart, or a festival anywhere in Tasmania, MaxFX makes it easy to add real impact. Tell us your venue, date, and vision—we’ll engineer the spectacle, safely.
