????一陣“魔云”般的煙霧從一個鋼罐里升騰起來，孩子則在一邊滿心期待地守候著。在Abracadabra冰淇淋工廠（Abracadabra Ice Cream Factory），這就是低溫巫師的表演。

????這個公司的所有人約翰?葛萊穆里37歲，他是通過互聯網搜索相關信息之后投身液態氮冰淇淋生意的。他在餐飲行業工作了23年之久，從雜工一路做到經理。通過調研這十年來最炙手可熱的生意趨勢，他為開創自己的小生意做足了準備。

????他最后鎖定的目標是？液態氮冰淇淋和紙杯蛋糕。

????利用自己38,000美元的個人積蓄和父親及朋友的資助，Abracadabra今年3月開張了。這家店出品無糖、無脂肪和無乳糖的另類產品，并在產品名錄中加入了紙杯蛋糕和葛萊穆里的妻子貝姬特制的蛋糕。

????Abracadabra目前已經盈利，目標是開業第一年銷售總額達到24萬美元。位于基西米市的第二家分店將于2012年2月開出。

Abracadabra Ice Cream Factory

????Company : Abracadabra Ice Cream Factory

????Headquarters: Clermont, Fla.

????"Abracadabra! Alakazam! Make Billy's ice cream as fast as you can!"

????A "magic cloud" of vapor rises from a steel bowl as a small child waits in anticipation. At Abracadabra Ice Cream Factory, it's a cryogenic wizard's show.

????Owner John Gramley, 37, went into the liquid nitrogen ice cream business after an internet search. The 23-year restaurant industry veteran -- who worked his way from busboy to manager -- prepared for his own small business venture by researching the decade's hottest trends.

????His result? Liquid nitrogen ice cream and cupcakes.

????Utilizing $38,000 in personal savings and contributions from his father and a friend, Abracadabra opened in March. The company offers sugar-free, fat-free and lactose-free alternatives, and adds variety to its menu with gourmet cupcakes and specialty cakes made by Gramley's wife, Becky.

????Abracadabra is already turning a profit and on target to reach $240,000 in gross sales in its first year. A second Kissimmee location will open by February 2012.
