1 MEET THE MAGICFX®SNOWCASE!
The MAGICFX® SNOWCASE is a special eects machine that creates a simulated snow
eect. The machine launches snow into the air at a set distance and density.
The machine pumps snow uid from a jerrycan to the snow head. The snow uid
leaves the snow head through a cone formed mesh. This creates the snow eect.
The MAGICFX® SNOWCASE is a very exible machine. It can be operated with the
eect coming straight from the machine itself, or an extension hose can be
connected. This gives the user the possibility to create the eect in dicult to reach
places such as high up in the truss. In both use cases the user has a wide variety to
set the eect angle.
The MAGICFX® SNOWCASE is outtted for operation:
• in Manual mode with multiple options (e.g setting a timer and the output
distance);
• with DMX and optionally RDM;
• in sequence with multiple machines.
