[SML] God Of Carnage Vomit

[Dougherty, Jim]

For a recent production, we made a rig that the actor wore under a hoodie. On a motocross back protector we mounted a pipe-based air tank, solenoid valve and batteries for the valve. A microswitch went to the actor's front pocket. A tube filled with fake vomit (water and cornstarch, plugged with closed cell foam ball) went down her sleeve to her wrist. She put her hand in her pocket over her stomach, aimed the other hand by her mouth then triggered the valve. 

Same rig with different pressure and tube contents/routing put her "brains" onto the wall behind her when her head "exploded" later in the play. 

Her character had a really bad day.
