Joe, Very few people do this as their primary source of income. It's typically a side job. As far as getting on a crew, my recommendation is to find a show and approach the operator and tell him you're interested. We've been known to gain crew members this way. I hope that unfrowneys the frowny face.

If you listen closely he says "are you going to use that?" (meaning in my final edit) I respond "No." Of course, when I heard it on video I knew it deserved the final word.

Well, we typically never know. Maybe in other places it's different. I'm told the parent company (that sells the show to the customer and hires the pyrotechnician) pays the pyro a percentage. Let's say that percentage is ..um.. a convenient store where people buy coffee. Not the eleven. The other number. The actual price of a show can vary widely. Permits, whether a show is choreographed, how much insurance is required, and of course which effects (mortars) were purchased can all vary from show to show. If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say, maybe 30,000? Maybe half that, maybe twice? Who knows?

no

To become licensed in CA you have to take a license exam and get a letter of recommendation from a number of licensed pyrotechnicians, stating that you've worked for them. The rules must be different in NC, as that would be a catch-22; you couldn't handle product until you get clearance, and couldn't get clearance until you handle it. So, again, the rules must be different in NC. My advice is to ask a licensee there in NC.

I think it's like any hobby-job; there are a few people who make a living at it, but most do it for fun and maybe some extra cash. Like commercial pilots that tow banners over the beach, or race car drivers who are sponsored. I myself do it for fun, but one of the guys on the crew in this video actually makes money at it. I think if you're motivated and have good business sense you can make a living at almost anything.

Noah's Workshop so how do i do this get in pyrotechnics

I'd recommend finding a show and approach the operator and tell him you're interested. We occasionally gain crew members this way. Sorry for the late reply.
