Chemicals to create smoke

[sheezits]

I do comedy emcee work. I need to know if there are chemicals (preferably just two) that, when mixed together, would produce smoke.

 

To help you come up with a solution that would fit my needs, here's what I want to do. I want to walk onstage while putting on a jacket. After I have the jacket on, I begin my introduction of the next act. As I do, smoke begins to come out of the jacket. I look surprised and tell the audience that it's my new smoking jacket.

 

Corny? Yes, but I saw someone do it years ago and it gets a lot of laughs (and many groans). Any help would me MOST welcome, both chemicals and/or a method of mixing them as I put the jacket on.

 

Thanks for anyone who can help me with this.

There is some good information on this topic in the thread entitled "Smoke and Bombs" in the chemistry forum already - you might find some answers there.

i dont konw much, can help much there.

however, a quite search in google give me this:

its about producing smoke using some kind of glycerin mixture,

title "Atomized Glycols"

its safer than using nitrogen and dry ice.... since you need to put em in your jacket.

Thanks for the suggestions. I considered the dry ice route, but wasn't sure if it would produce an amount of smoke that would be noticeable. I don't think dry ice smoke would rise as much, either.

 

I'll check them both out. Thanks again.

wouldnt dry ice be a bit too cold to be put inside a jacket?

well, anyway, good luck with your work. :hyper:
