I was wondering what sorts of rules they have for props at big conventions like Comic Con.
For example, let's say you had a steampunk outfit. Would you be allowed to use dry ice to emit a steady stream of "steam"? Could you emit actual steam in small quanitites? Could you use a CO2 cartridge to emit a burst of steam from a pipe? What about a gun that shoots a burst of steam?
Or if you were a ghostbuster, what about a trap that uses dry ice or one of those tiny foggers magicians use to make their hands smoke?
If there are no steadfast rules about these sorts of things, what have you seen security allow in the past?
And if none of this is allowed, do people often show this sort of stuff off outside the building?
Obviously I'm not talking about a fog machine emitting a steady stream of heavy haze. I wouldn't do that simply because it would annoy people. I'm talking small amounts of steam, fog, or vapor which dissipate quickly and are relatively harmless. No chemical smoke or pyrotechnics.
