Another Glowing Orb

InstaSnow – Magic Instant Snow

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Saw this one a while back on metacafe and its made its way to the front page again recently. I could only imagine the potential of having some of this stuff for tricks. You can apparently purchase some of this powder at smartoys.co.uk. Apparently its some kind of non-toxic super absorbent polymer. Ive seen something similar to this for tricks however it turns to gel instead of a fluffy substance. Someone posted in the comments of the video that it is the same stuff found in diapers, however I won’t be confirming that as I have no inclination to go buy a pack of diapers at the supermarket. If anyone knows a way to acquire this stuff cheap or an easy way to make it, please post in the comments.
