Ninjutsu Training Techniques

you know those old ninja movies where the guy throws something and a cloud of smoke appears. What is that?

its not a normal smoke bomb with a fuse, cause it explodes instantly. is it a chemical, or two. can i buy it, can i make it, what is it called? or is it just a movie FX?

4. its a smoke bomb , n when it blinds u for like 3 secs , the ninja would have plenty of time to FLEE !
5. Special effect
6. It is, in the vernacular, a 'smoke pellet.' Based upon the idea of a smoke grenade, it is simply a movie/literary device used to create a more mysterious atmosphere. Even 'Batman' used such a device, but they are not functional in real life. Magicians on stage have used the same idea, but remember... what you see is not what happened. Illusion is the key...
