Does anyone have any knowledge or diagram of this trick. The only thing I know is that it is battery/air powered and is small enough to be undetected from a distance. I love Copperfield's snow, not so much for the trick, but the showmanship.
There are different models for this trick, chair, table, present, etc. I almost bought a device that runs on co2 carts, like in paintball guns. It looked to big and bulky to perform with.
I am dying to know how this device works. If it was 100 dollars I would buy it, but it's the 1,500-2,000 dollars that is keeping me from doing it.

Other than the arm band setup, what is below the cut off point of the picture. I can see hoses that appear to go down the arm to something, that's where it cuts off.
This is what I understand. It's a telescoping wand that moves into position between your hands, evaporated snow blows thru the telescoping rod and presto, instant snow.
What I don't understand is, does the telescoping wand telescope open by battery or air power, where are the co2 carts located, and where do the hoses run to. Do they run to a big apparatus such as a liquid storage tank or possibly the co2 carts.
Is this something that can be made or are the parts custom. Cause I mean looking at the arm band, it doesn't look like it should cost that much. Your obviously are not paying for the secret, they show a picture.

well....the hose and wire run to the second part of the unit...
battery pack, 2 piggybacked CO2 cartrages and a pressure regulator.
it wold take me a lot of work to make one and it would be a pain in the ass...and i have one to look at and work from.
the snow liquid is there on you wrist, and the air pressure extends the wand.
