Camping with the Count

Introduction:
Three young men are celebrating a successful Magic Show around a campfire
while an uninvited guest lurks in the bushes

Demonstrations:
Bloody Picture (Ferric Chloride + Potassium Thiocyanate)
Growling Gummy Bear
Thermite

Photos:



Gloves can be decorated as part of a costume!

The Count tries to impress them with the Growling Gummy Bear reaction.
[Note the excellent, hand-drawn fire and the decorated thermite flowerpots!]



The Count's final attempt to impress them is wth the thermite reaction.

It was magnificent, but the boys still wouldn't sign up to become a vampire (or for the magazines he was selling!).

NOTE: Bloody Picture was used for one of the boys to "sign his name in blood" to become a vampire
(but he really signed up for a year of O Magazine!)
