I remember this guy. The cannonball was very lightweight and they used barely enough gunpowder to get the ball out of the cannon.

I's read it was an air powered cannon, not sure what was used to produce the smoke. The ball itself was over a hundred pounds. Me grandaddy had 8mm film of the guy when he was performin' at the Pike.
