Magic Lamp by Global Special Effects

The Magic Lamp

The Magic Lamp by Global Special Effects is a 11.5-foot-tall “street lamp” that generates “Evaporative Snow.” While giving the appearance of snow, the biodegradable, non-toxic snow-like material never accumulates. It evaporates within 90 seconds and does not leave a residue, according to the company. It’s a non-slip, flame-retardant effect that can be used indoors or out. The aluminum-cast street lamp itself, which comes with three light globes and three Evaporative Snow nozzles on top, can be operated by controls hidden in its base or by remote control.
