I think the original is call Little Smoke. It SHOULD be available from the dealers. Ask them....

The ad is true for this product. Rub your fingers and smoke appears. You're clean right after the effect. Show your hands empty.
There is a small prep you do at home before performing this effect. It's very simple and takes very little time. However, do read the WARNING on the instructions carefully before proceeding. There is a slight chance you can hurt yourself during the preparation.
I believe the smoke is less harmful than Ultra Smoke 2000. However, it doesn't mean you intentionally inhale the smoke. Same goes out to those smokers out there.
However, you would need to come up with a proper presentation to pull off this smoke producing feat or it would be plain boring.
Magically,

Hm... wanted to get this to improve on a few of my routines. Example a coin vanish, I could make smoke.
A card transposition but making smoke on my card first before they change. And Kinda need a few comments before I buy it. :)
Its it worth a buy for this? thanks!

Not recommended, imho. Not much smoke is produced by the way (apparently this is the same as Little Smoke, the creator just decided to market it differently... not sure why), just got to warn you in case you're thinking of doing a strong 'poof' effect ala Ultra Smoke 2000. Oh... It smells a little too.

Its fun to see smoke coming out of your hands but the preparation is easy but a bit of a hassle.
The set up is not as easy as you want it to be. You have to use this at the start of your routine and once prepared, you have to keep it in an air tight container.
I have about 1/3 left and its lying around somewhere. If anyone wants to try but don't want to buy the whole thing, I'll dig it up and sell at a low price.

Oh ya. I heard that its kinda hard to set up.
Ultra smoke is quite costly. :P But I think its worth it

I got to admit Ultra Smoke 2000 is very visual when used correctly but some people with sensitive skin may break out in rashes when using it. Not all magic dealers will tell you this, but the stuff in it is not very safe... so well, do bear this in mind ^_^
If you're curious about Magic Smoke, you can just get Magicdow's tube... I'm sure he'll give it to you at a steal. Test it out and see if it's your thing before buying a new set :)
My 2 cents...

Magic smoke? Is that the one that leaves you with stinking fingers?
No thanks. Messy and regret buying it. I'm considering getting Ultra Smoke 2000 however, but the bad reviews on it is giving me second thoughts. I might just get it... but I think I'll save the money for other tricks.
