Shattering glass! Backyard FX's DIY sugar glass

Erik tells us how to get that broken glass effect without a trip to the hospital (BUT you've still got to be careful!). All you need is cooking spray, corn syrup, sugar, a pot, a pan, cream of tartar, and a thermometer.

Guys, it's the sugar.
I forget the other substitute, but its something like impostant sugar or something.
Makes glass clear.
