Dry ice. Water.

The other special effect was walking through a sheet of paper.

The only real mystery here is how you managed to dredge ip such a dismal example of 80's music.

whit vulgar household chems...

have you dry ice in your fridge?

today's "music" is pure excrement :-)

Dry ice is pretty “vulgar” considering you can buy it at the grocery store. It’s the best answer you’re going to get.

maybe in your "grocery store" but not in my supermarket. Every country have different rules and uses.

Well you asked how it's made, and that's how it's made (at least in that video). If you can't get dry ice there are fog machines that use things like glycerin or ethylene glycol to make smoke effects, but it is very difficult to replicate these devices at home (I tried with only minor success). As to dry ice, it is used as a commodity chemical all over the world in the food industry. Grocery stores don't advertise that they have it but if you ask they might sell you some. Try searching simply for "Dry ice for sale (your location)". Bars, grocers, food suppliers, etc. may all have some.

  • industrial gas suppliers
  • camping stores
  • medical suppliers
  • cold-store and packing companies
  • film and theatre / stage production

    Admitedly, depending on which of these are available, you might need to work hard to find a suitable contact. But it should be possible.
    Worst case, (and it is expensive) buy a CO2 fire extinguisher and blast it into a cloth.
