Sound effects add a lot as does effective pyro. To create safe but impressive theatrical artillery impacts I pull a trick straight from Hollywood. I take the large fourth of July mortar shells and place them in the bottom of empty sanitary wipe tubes. (I don't throw them out and repurpose them). With the mortar shell in the bottom of the plastic tube I pour in dry concrete mixed with chunks of beauty bark or small pinecones. The fuse is routed up through the top with the cap closed. I bury these so only the disinfectant tube cap at the surface. These can either be lit by staff or electrically controlled by my blast box (I have a dozen switches). I also have a friend who has a system that remotely ignites the fuses using infrared but we found in bright daylight this frequently fails. The initial pop spreads the concrete dust (and warns players nearby) then the big boom spreads the dust very convincingly. You want anyone especially close by to wear ear protection and you really don't want to be breathing in the dust but visually and auditorially they are quite convincing. For a Willy Pete effect use white TALC powder. Also avoid breathing it in! When you see Hollywood explosions it's often what they do.
