The Dry Ice Show

The princesses are mesmerized by the cloud of fog.

Dry Ice is fantastic stuff. It is frozen carbon dioxide and it is dry because it does not melt. It goes directly from a solid to a gas. Dry Ice is usually -78.5 degrees celsius. That’s pretty cold.

In a typical Dry Ice Show I do hands-on experiments and these are some of them:
~ touching cutlery to the dry ice to feel the vibrations this will cause and to listen to the sound it makes
~ watching dry ice inflate a balloon
~ watching or holding the infamous ‘dry ice poppers’ that make lots of noise and even more excitement
~ putting dry ice pieces in coloured water and making predictions about the effects
~ watching the dry ice fountain
~ dropping lots of dry ice into a glass bowl of boiling water and observing the huge cloud of fog that results

Here are some more pictures of a Dry Ice Show:

Cost and duration: I charge $200* for a 40 minute show. The Dry Ice Show often ends up being longer if your schedule permits, but I guarantee 40 minutes unless we have decided otherwise. Due to the amount of time spent in preparation, shows of less duration are not less expensive. (*there may be an extra charge on Sundays or holidays due to the difficulty of buying dry ice on those days – it must be bought well in advance at a much higher cost due to sublimation over time)

Deposit Policy: Having had many cancellations in the past, I have a policy requiring a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the cost of the show. Once I have received the deposit, the date and time you have booked is set aside for you. If you have just recently booked, I allow a reasonable amount of time to receive the deposit before I consider another booking during that time slot.
