Magnesium ribbon and turnings are placed into the center of a block of dry ice and ignited. This energetic reaction produces Magnesium Oxide and elemental carbon.2Mg + CO2 --> C +2MgO***Note-This was my only take this year, I used so much magnesium I burned through the block. Also, that is the bell not the fire alarm. Still funny though.
