I ran the command
/particle hugeexplosion ~ ~ ~ 3 3 3 1 10 @e[type=Item]
On a nearby item (the only entity besides me in the world) and it was unable to find the entity
EDIT: Marcono1234 found it also doesn't work with XPOrb or WitherSkull

Egor, the selector is on what entity the particles are centeted on. All players can see the particles.
/particle syntax on MC Wiki:
http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Commands#particle
Confirmed for 14w20b
/execute @e[type=Item] ~ ~ ~ particle hugeexplosion ~ ~ ~ 3 3 3 1 10works, the command itself not
Also doesn't work for
XPOrb and WitherSkull (You'll get the error message: "That entity cannot be found")
*Used this command:
/particle hugeexplosion ~ ~ ~ 1 1 1 1 1 @e[type=!Player]Duplicate of MC-45558

The selector is for who can "see" it.
To use the command you want you have to use execute like;
"/execute @e[type=Item] ~ ~ ~ particle hugeexplosion ~ ~ ~ 3 3 3 1 10 @a"
