Lycopodium powder is a fine, yellow dust made from the dried spores of Lycopodium clavatum, a type of club moss. It's highly flammable and was once used in early photography, fireworks, and stage lighting for its dramatic flash when ignited. Its hydrophobic nature (meaning it repels water) also makes it useful in pharmaceuticals for coating pills and in various industries to prevent surfaces from sticking. In this video, I break down how a viral clip creates the illusion of snow spontaneously combusting. In reality, the performer uses a nearly invisible methanol flame on his shoe to ignite lycopodium powder kicked into the air, producing a sudden, fiery burst that looks like magic but is pure chemistry.
