A mixture is made of powdered Aluminum and powdered Iodine. When a drop of water is added, the oxidising properties of water is demonstrated as the rection gets hotter. When the necessary temperature is reached (which is relatively low), the Iodine and Aluminum starts reacting, giving Aluminum Iodide. Iodine smoke can be observed as well, as Iodine is in excess.
