I like the layering that you've got going on in a lot of those, with cakes going strong down low, but simliar effects up higher. We've tried some of that, but it never seems to be as cohesive as I'd like. Once, we did a brocade crown cake run (like the pic above) and then lit off 2x10" brocade crown aerial shells right at the end of the show. I don't have a picture of it, but those 10's hung in the air for around 20 seconds. That's probably my favorite look we've gotten.
I've personally never gone to the demos, but I've always wanted to. I work for a company who pretty much dictates what effects we get anyway. It sucks, but they take care of a lot of the paperwork that I have no desire to deal with, so it's a trade off. This is probably my last year, as I'm moving out of the area I've always shot shows in. Otherwise, I might try and find a demo to attend. Oh well.
