Effect Machines are a surefire way to create many different thematic atmospheres for live events and parties. Many of our customers have used our smoke, snow and bubble effects machines time after time for all manner of celebrations. Discover the range:

Smoke Machines

Smoke machines are used all year round by mobile DJs and venue operators to enhance their lighting fixtures. The smoke effect will make any beams of light visible to the eye as it lingers in the room: the more area and lights you have to play with, the greater the result of the special effect. This special effect also works a treat with UV lights for an extra spooky Halloween party. Don't forget to grab yourself some smoke fluid, or better yet a machine that is packaged with some.

Smoke machines are incredibly versatile and can be used to create a range of atmospheres, from a dreamy dance floor to a thrilling haunted house. By dispersing smoke evenly across the venue, they help to make laser shows and light displays much more vibrant and engaging. This visual enhancement is perfect for creating memorable moments at weddings, concerts, and themed parties, making every event unique and unforgettable.

When choosing a smoke effect machine, consider features such as adjustable output, remote control options, and tank size to best suit your needs. Some models even come with built-in LED lights for added visual effects. With the right smoke machine, you can effortlessly raise the energy of any event, ensuring that guests leave with lasting impressions.

Snow Machines

Brrrrr. Snow machines bring the whole family together during the festive season. The winter months always threaten to snow but it's actually fairly rare in most of the UK, however you can be certain to see some (artificial) snow by using a snow machine to bring joy to everybody come Christmas morning. A snow machine is also a great effect for childrens parties and for those mobile DJs who are looking for an effect that is a little different provided from the regular smoke and bubble machines.

Snow machines are perfect for creating a winter wonderland at any event, providing a magical touch that can turn an ordinary gathering into a festive celebration. Imagine the delight on children's faces as they dance and play in a flurry of faux snowflakes, or the wonder at a holiday party when guests are greeted by a cascade of gently falling snow. Snow machines are also a fantastic addition to school plays, themed events, and corporate parties, adding a special effect that’s sure to impress.

When setting up your snow machine, consider the placement and coverage area to ensure the snow effect is both realistic and enchanting. Many models allow for adjustable output, so you can create anything from a light dusting to a full-on blizzard. Pairing the snow machine with festive music and lights can further enhance the atmosphere, creating a cosy, wintery ambience indoors regardless of the weather outside. Remember to have plenty of snow fluid on hand to keep the magic flowing throughout your event!

Bubble Machines

A summertime smash hit! Our bubble machines have brought countless hours of fun to thousands of families over the years. This effect machines is designed to be placed somewhere with enough room for the machine to release a wide array of bubbles over the heads of its audience, such as in a back garden for instance. Smaller bubble machines should be set somewhere up high so a cascade of bubbles are in effect for longer. DJ's can add an extra flair to their live show with bubble machines and they are pet friendly so even your dog will adore it too. We stock many kinds of bubble fluid including some that react to UV light.

Bubble machines are a fantastic addition to a variety of events, bringing joy and excitement to both children and adults. Imagine a birthday party where kids are surrounded by floating bubbles, or a summer barbecue where bubbles drift gently across the garden, creating a whimsical atmosphere. For wedding receptions, bubble machines can add a charming and playful touch, especially during outdoor celebrations or photo sessions. Their versatility makes them suitable for any occasion, from casual gatherings to more formal events.

When choosing a bubble machine, consider factors like the size of the area, the machine's output capacity, and the type of bubble fluid. Some machines offer different bubble sizes and can produce hundreds of bubbles per minute, ensuring a continuous flow of fun. UV-reactive fluids can add an extra layer of magic, glowing under black lights and making your event even more memorable. With the right setup, a bubble machine can transform any space into a wonderland of floating bubbles, enchanting guests of all ages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are The Different Types Of Special Effects?

There are a selection of special effects, also known as SFX. From bubble machines that are great for childrens parties, to smoke, haze and fog machines bringing that eery display to an event or to fog up a dance floor, you'll certainly find a wide selection of special effects available on the market. For those that want to enhance the effect of an occasion, there is even snow machines, bringing that fake snowfall effect to a hall or event anywhere across the land. All of these machines and their respective fluids are some of ElectroMarket's top items and we've been helping to inject that extra level of personality to tens of thousands of parties for well over a decade now and our product has never been stronger and more versatile.

Are fog machines and smoke machines the same thing?

Yes, fog machines and smoke machines are essentially the same devices. Both are used to create a dense vapour that simulates fog or smoke, often for theatrical, entertainment, or special effects purposes. The terms are often used interchangeably, though the underlying technology and function of fog machines and smoke machines are the same, involving the heating of a fluid to create a visible vapour.

Are fog machines okay around pets?

Yes, fog machines can generally be used around pets, but it's important to take certain precautions. Ensure that the area is well-ventilated to prevent the buildup of fog, which could cause respiratory discomfort for pets. Additionally, keep the fog machine fluid out of reach of pets, as it can be toxic if ingested. By maintaining good ventilation and ensuring that pets do not come into contact with the fluid, you can safely use fog machines in environments where pets are present.

Can I use dish soap as an alternative to bubble fluid?

Technically, dish soap mixed with water can be used as an alternative to bubble fluid, but the results will be significantly inferior compared to a specialised solution made by effect machine manufacturers. For optimal performance and the best visual effect, it is highly recommended to use dedicated bubble machine fluid.

What Is The Difference Between Visual Effects And Special Effects?

Where special effects are more atmospheric in nature (bubbles, fake snow, low-hanging haze or a smokey effect that works splendidly with visual effects), visual effects are sudden, lighting based effects such as lasers, spotlights, uplights, strobes and so on.

Can I use effect machines outdoors?

Yes, you can use effect machines, such as fog or smoke machines, outdoors, but only in dry conditions. Most of these machines are not designed to be resistant to wet or dusty environments as they typically lack an IP (Ingress Protection) rating that ensures protection against such elements. Using them in adverse conditions could lead to malfunctions or damage to the equipment. To ensure safe and effective operation, it's important to use these machines in areas where they are shielded from rain, excessive moisture, and dust.

Do snow effect machines create slippery surfaces?

Yes, snow effect machines can create slippery surfaces, particularly on wooden or other smooth surfaces. It is important to regulate the use of a snow machine to prevent excessive foam buildup on the floor. The foam fluid solution used in these machines is formulated to dissipate quickly and leave no oily residue. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor surfaces during your events to ensure safety.

Are smoke machines good for house parties?

Yes, smoke machines are an excellent addition to house parties. They can complement lighting effects, making laser lights, LED lights, and other visual effects more prominent and captivating. Additionally, they are relatively easy to set up and use, allowing you to transform your party space quickly. However, it's important to ensure proper ventilation and to consider any potential sensitivities your guests might have to smoke or fog effects.
