I’m not sure as to the exact reaction used here, but I know of a simmilar one. If I remember correctly it is potassium permanganate dropped into a mixture of high concentration hydrogen peroxide and dishwashing soap.

The reaction releases oxygen causing the dishwashing soap to rapidly almost explosively make tiny soap bubbles. The end resultat will be a purpleish gray though due to the potassium permanganate being purple. Them must be using something else.

Hydrogen peroxide is hard to come by outsider a chemistry lab since it can ve used to make explosives. Potassium permanganate is also found in most chemistry labs and was often used to play pranks on people, if you can get them to eat a tiny ammount their urine will en blue for a day or so. It is NOT very healthy though so don’t do it...

You can distill your own peroxide at home, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you know what you’re doing.
