Evil Mad Scientist says we can do a easier version of the “floating on nothing” trick featured in the hexaflourid post.

You can actually do a version of this trick at home, using stuff that you either already have or can get a the grocery store: You can blow bubbles and float them– apparently in mid air– atop a layer of carbon dioxide; a not-very-exotic heavy gas. You’ll need a big pot, pan or storage bin (made of plastic or metal), some dry ice, and bubbles.

Complete instruction are posted, plus a video of the trick in action. Now, if we could get hold of some Zubbles, this would be just too cool! Link

    I don't know if this counts as a float on nothing trick. There's clearly a white fog as well as the pieces of dry ice.

    It's floating on the inversion layer created by the dry ice. This is a miniature version of the same layer that clouds "float" on, too!
