The explosive dynamite stick is a 23 cm imitation bundle of red dynamite sticks, held together with black tape and featuring black wires as a fuse.
The most striking detail is at the top. Thin black wires protrude from there, hanging loosely down the side of the bundle. This turns a bandit costume into a recognizable bank robber for Carnival or a themed party.

Dynamite as the signature accessory of the comic book villain
A bundle of red sticks with a fuse has long been the quintessential image of a villain in cartoons, comics and Westerns. Anyone holding one needs no explanation. Everyone immediately sees a robber who wants to blow open a safe. Precisely because this image is so exaggerated, the fake stick works as a prop.
How do you wear the dynamite stick during a parade or at a party?
During a Carnival parade, it is best to hold the dynamite stick in your hand. The fuse then hangs visibly down your arm, and the spectators will immediately get the joke. At an indoor party, attach it to the back of your belt so that your hands are free for a drink. Wear it with a striped bandit outfit and a black eye mask, and the robber look will be complete.
Bring home the explosive dynamite stick and complete your bandit outfit for Carnival or a themed party.
