White phosphorus on my fingertips reacts with oxygen in the air and dissolves into phosphorus oxide particles as my fingertips produce the slightest bit of thermal energy.

This is a very creative flow visualization. I think the image is very detailed and you can really tell what is going on, even if it still feels like magic.
Hello AJ,
I think this idea is super cool! I don’t know much about magic so before this I had never even heard of this trick. The detail in the smoke is really nice and the contrast with the black background really makes it pop.
I loved how you used a very creative way to visualize flow! Truly unique. Hope you didn’t get too much WP on your fingers!
I personally like how you purposefully used your hand as an experimental heat source. Your featured image is beautifully asymmetrical.
