So my friend just gave me a package that's supposed to be able to create smoke. He said he ordered it from a China magic shop.
The package comes with a small bottle of liquid and another small bottle of some kind of black powder. The thing is, I have no idea how the heck does it work. I tried mixing the two things together, heating them( separately and mixed ) There's no instruction or any kind of sticker on the bottle so I can't even search for it. The only clue I've got is when I mix the liquid and the black powder together the mixture seems to get hot, but yeah, no smoke. So anyone have any idea what this is and how to make it work? |

If the liquid is quite yellow to trasparent and by the time the powder is black then probably the chemicals are glycerin and potassium permagnatate. these two create not just smoke but in fact fire. (you will see smoke 2 sec before the fire)
there is a possibility that the chemicals are not of good quality and they will not react. you can try this. take a piece of tissue paper and and half teaspoon of the black powder then make a paper capsule that seals the black powder. finally add a drop of the liquid. the paper will absorbe the liquid which will finally come into better contact with the powder.use an ashtray or a candle to be safe of course. the reaction (if these are the chemicals) is very very hot but just for some seconds. it is enough to light a candle, or set any flash product to fire. let me know if this way with just the use of the paper works Harrismatic |

Wow!!! It worked like a charm! Thanks a lot!
Do you think there's any application for the smoke? Or just use it as a flash paper ignitor? |

I am glad it worked
I do not know what happens but the paper helps alot. normally it gets ignited without it (check vids on youtube) the mixture is only for this ignition effect. smoke for 1,5sec and then fire. |

Is it possible to get smoke and only smoke,without the fire...maybe by using less chemicals or using humidified tissue paper?

As I stated NOT! actually the smoke produced is a result of fire. so the fire emerges and but till then the material starts get burned making the smoke.
it is not supposed to produce smoke |
