Step 1
Collect photos
Collect photos from the party attendees ahead of time. They'll serve as the "memories" for the pensieve.

Warn people that their pictures may get wet, so they shouldn't contribute any family heirlooms.

Tape photos to the small bowl
Tape the photos to the outside of the clear punch bowl, facing in.
-
To protect the photos, cover them in plastic wrap or put them in plastic baggies before taping them to the bowl.
-
Step 4
Mix the punch
Mix the punch ingredients, except for the sherbet, together in the small bowl. Add several drops of various food colorings to give the concoction a murky color.
-
Step 5
Prepare the dry ice
Wearing heavy-duty gloves, place the dry ice on a cutting board and chip half of it into manageable pieces with an ice pick or hammer. Put the pieces in the larger bowl.
-
Step 6
Set the punch bowl in dry ice
Set the punch bowl inside the larger one and pour warm water in the space between the bowls, creating an eerie vapor.

Add additional dry ice and warm water as needed.

Add the sherbet
Scoop sherbet in to your spooky punch to give it a sugary kick. And enjoy!
