What can be used to create a tiny puff of smoke from the hand on a closeup table, like at the climax to a matrix effect?

Ultra Smoke 2000. Reliable, completely under your control, and utterly beautiful

I would read the reviews + risks of Ultra Smoke 2000...

Yeah, I agree... Ultrasmoke may look pretty, but um... serious risks apparently.

Ultra smoke 2000 wrecked my jacket. It rusted the pins that attach what needs to be attached, and literally ate the material on my coat like acid would. Avoid it.

Did you leave it hooked up to your coat?

The instructions very clearly state that it will corrode the safety pins after time and that they are to be replaced periodically. It also cautions against leaving it in your jacket for a prolonged period of time. It explains how to store it when not in use. If you follow the instructions you shoudn't have any problems.

I agree, its awesome. You just have to be cautious about how you handle it.

The reactions it gets you are worth any hassle you'll have with it...

There is nothing in the Ultra Smoke 2000's advertising or documentation that state exactly what the chemical is that produces the smoke – only that it is acidic. I think the makers and sellers of this product should state exactly what it is we are purchasing and handling. It does warn about a harmful vapor in the instructions but not in the advertising – you find this out after you purchase the product.

I purchased this effect and practiced for 2 or 3 weeks with my jacket, but in shirt sleeves. I did notice a slight irritation on my wrist the first time I used it.

The night I debuted this trick was for a 2 hour table hopping gig. At the end of the evening, I noticed some white residue on the jacket sleeve and some heavy corrosion on the safety pins that attach the gimmick. I was expecting this – it said so in the instructions. What I did not expect was a nickel sized yellow stain on the sleeve of a $60.00 tuxedo shirt. I cannot afford to ruin an expensive shirt every time I want to use this effect. Granted, the reactions of the audience are astounding, but it is not worth the cost and danger of using this.

I am a little angry at the product's misrepresentation in the advertising and down-playing that a corrosive acid is used to produce the smoke.

Buy cheaper shirts.
