How to Use Your Gender Reveal Cannon

How to Use Your Gender Reveal Cannon

Follow these steps for a safe, smooth, and picture-perfect reveal:

1. Point the Cannon Up & Away

Hold the cannon firmly with both hands and aim it straight up into the air.

Never point it at people, animals, or fragile items.

2. Twist the Base — With Both Hands

Use both hands to twist the cannon in opposite directions.

  • Top hand stays steady
  • Bottom hand twists the base
  • Twist firmly and continuously, not fast and jerky

3. Twist Alternate Ways if Needed

If it feels tight, try twisting slightly back the other way first, then twist again in the correct direction to release it.

4. Ask Someone Stronger If You Need Help

These cannons are pressurised for a strong effect.

If you’re struggling to twist it open, have a stronger adult assist you while still pointing the cannon safely upward.

5. Get Camera-Ready

Once twisted, the cannon will pop and release your coloured powder or confetti.

Make sure cameras are rolling before you begin twisting!

6. Enjoy Your Moment

Celebrate, take photos, and enjoy the excitement!
