Why?

Tricks the eye into thinking the impossible is as simple a single chemical reaction.

Categorizing this tutorial is one of the great challenges for an internet librarian: magic trick or science experiment?

Our crew made our own hot ice lab, which in effect ruined the kitchen table. So, word of caution. To replicate this, you need to be more scientist than magician.

Your creating a super saturated solution, it isnt turning to ice, it's crystallizing.

I have some. it gets realy hot. Same stuff that is in some of does hand and boot warmers that they sale at ski places for 2$ each little pack. Now If you or your freind have access to a food saver bag sealer you can make your own reusable hand warmers. the food grade bags used for "Food savers can be boiled and frozen. I keep some in my snowmobile.

i let my supersaturated liqued cool in the fridge overnight. when i checked it in the morning long (about 1.5 to 2 centimeter), very thin crystals had grown in the bottom of the glass. they survive at room temp to this day (about 3 weeks) in an airtight container. can some one tell me what they are? are they pure sodium acetate?
