			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is Magic Snow?</strong></p>
<p>Magic snow is an absorbent <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer">polymer</a> that is safe and non-toxic, it has the ability to expand up to 40 times its original volume.  The snow starts out as a simple powder that looks similar to sugar or salt.  The magic happens when water or other liquid is introduced to the magic snow, which quickly expands to absorb the liquid.</p>
<p><strong>How is it Used?</strong></p>
<p>Hollywood uses it for special effects, many people use it to decorate for parties, and thanks to its low price you can use<br />
<a href="https://www.heathscientific.net/Store/tabid/81/Default.aspx#7-30-1">magic snow</a> for fun.  When using magic snow, use it on a dish, bowl, cup, test tube, or anything else that will help you contain the magic snow.  First place the magic snow into the container of your choosing, next sprinkle a small amount of magic snow into the container.  Then add a small amount of water and watch it grow.   Use more in the following trials once an idea of the amount the magic snow expands is gained.</p>
<p><strong>Example</strong><br />
<br/><br />
<a href="https://www.heathscientific.net/Store/tabid/81/Default.aspx#7-30-1"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-266" title="magic snow" src="http://www.gadgetscience.com/wp-content/uploads/magicsnow.jpeg" alt="magic snow" width="340" height="285" /></a><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sCULEJUWY7g&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999&#038;border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sCULEJUWY7g&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999&#038;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br />
<br/><br />
Do not let magic snow into drains or pipes; it will expand causing them to clog.  The best way to dispose of magic snow absorbent material is to put it in a plastic bag and then in the trash.  Do not rinse the container you use for magic snow creation in the sink, even a little can cause clog.  However if you do accidentally clog a drain, a small amount of bleach will clear the drain.</p>
