Viktor Petriks secret discovered

Well, I think I am pretty much there with how Petrik did his trick. A couple more tweaks and this will be just the same. the trick here is the graphite is pre-intercalated and coated with KMnO4 - adding a glycol starts a self initiating exothermic reaction that expands the intercalated graphite and hey presto - like any magicians trick obvious when you know how lol
