According to a friend of mine (which is a chef) you can use a combination of sodium alginate and calcium chloride. I'll send you the details in an email if you like.

I believe he used sodium alginate and calcium chloride. Here is a good thread on the Egullet forum about how to do it.

What a neat thread. Is there video of this NWWBC performance by Mr Wilson anywhere? (He mumbles lazily, not having bothered to google it yet...)

I think that was before video streams of competitions became the norm a'la Zachary. Lots of pics floating around, though.

He does but as i am not from the US i don't think that supplier wil be of great help to you. On the other hand i found a great link on how to get it. It's shows an explanation depending on the amount of liquid nitrogen you need.

Here is a video ... not the best quality, or too close, but still cool. I was lucky enough to judge both of Billy's preliminary and final rounds and taste this drink first hand. It was truly awesome, and creative. There is also a lot of footage from this event on the Training with Champions DVD that I directed and Bellissimo produced.

I've got my own balls, and there is plenty to go around.
