Kenner and Price collaborated with Cornacchia to integrate a series of effects for the tour. Cornacchia was introduced to Kenner during the 2007 BET awards, where Cornacchia designed a barrage of custom flame effects, including a flaming microphone stand for Lil Wayne's performance of Gossip.Cornacchia, who has worked on numerous occasions with Kenner, enjoys doing so because "He's innovative and brings fresh ideas to the table". The Lil Wayne I Am Music World Tour consists of an array of various special effects. One of the custom effects designed for the tour resembles a gatling gun which acts as a flame thrower, shooting an explosive blaze of fire from the centre of the mid stage.
A total of 22 CO2cryogenic systems were also designed to fill the stage during Wayne's closing act. Gary Bishop and Tristan Ford are the gas technicians and shooters for the tour.
