Hi,
I'm production/stage managing a show which calls for a Magician character to disappear in a puff of smoke. I'm looking for an effect which is fairly simple and harmless as it will be in close proximity to the actor, but also happen very quickly and without noise (if possible). Nothing pyro-related as our budget doesn't stretch to cover training/equipment/licences. She doesn't need to disappear per se, we are happy if she is seen fleeing the scene and pretending to disappear (perhaps her character is just not a very good magician).
We're looking for something super cheap - I guess I'm looking at using a hidden fog machine? I was also looking for smoke pellets but am having trouble finding some in Sydney. Any suggestions/other ideas?
Thanks!
