My nephew, who's into media production, etc. is looking for a good source for smoke bombs to use for dramatic entrances, exits, etc.
Any suggestions? (As a mentalist I don't use those things- just the occasional stink bomb. ) Good thoughts, Bob |

The only experience I have with smoke bombs are those lovely forth of july firecrackers which emit different colored smoke. I don't know if those would work for your nephews purposes but might be something to check out.
All the best, Charles |

Thanks John! Just sent that link to him. (Hope he doesn't manage to blow himself up.)
Best- Bob |

An effective smoke bomb can be created by wrapping a Ping-Pong ball in aluminium foil, then heating until it burns. Twist a "tail" of alfoil to form a handle. Doesn't take long with a cigarette lighter.
Not useful for the stage, but fun trivia nonetheless!

If he needs a flash appearance, a flash pot is the only thing I know of that looks good. That plus a little editing. When I worked at the theatrical supply store we always told people the little bombs you throw to make flash appearances don't actually exist (they didn't at the time, I don't know about now). As a kid I saw a magician character on Knight Rider use them but it turned out the crew was using a flash pot on the ground just outside the frame = the actor wasn't actually throwing anything.
The secret of deception is in making the truth seem ridiculous.
