The Snow Storm in China is one of the most visually appealing of magic effects. This item has an added touch of “flash”.
The performer displays a piece of tissue paper, which he tears into pieces.
The pieces are immersed in a glass of water and squeezed. The apparently wet wad of tissue is now fanned, and a storm of snow flakes flutter out from the performer’s hand, filling the auditorium. .
With these tablets, there are flakes of mylar film, interleaved with the snow flakes, which catch the light, and appear as streaks of lightning, specially prominent if a spot light is directed at them.
Properly presented this makes for a very eye catching effect, guaranteed to draw applause from any audience
