Dry ice is I believe carbon in solid form. At room temperature it immediately turns from solid to gas bypassing the liquid stage of matter. It is simply to warm for it to keep its solid form at room temperature. Its solid temperature is close to -200 degrees fahrenheit.
The idea is simple - drop a chunk of dry ice in some water; it will bubble and smoke. In practice, this is a little more difficult, because the dry ice will cool down the surrounding water and start to form a shell around itself of water-ice. Eventually the smoking and bubbling stops. The only way to keep this from happening is to keep the water hot, which increases the rate at which the dry ice is consumed. That's why dry ice isn't really used as often as people think it is.
"sublimation"
Dry ice, carbon dioxide, is more dense than air.
cold water makes dry ice closer to its freezing point. so hot water makes dry ice sublimate more
I believe he uses a Smoke Machine for his entrance. If you look closely you can see them present on the ramp/stage area.

To change the color of dry ice smoke, you can mix it with other substances that will react and produce different colored smoke. For example, adding food coloring to hot water before dropping in dry ice can create colored smoke. Be cautious when handling dry ice and follow safety precautions.
because of the carbon dioxide in the dry ice because of the carbon dioxide in the dry ice because of the carbon dioxide in the dry ice
When dry ice appears to give off smoke it is solid carbon dioxide subliming to vapor. The "smoke" is thus carbon dioxide gas. Dry ice is also often used in the theatre/television/movies etc. because it is cold enough to condense water vapour in the air to produce fog that may resemble smoke. Please see the link.
Dry ice doesn't "turn into smoke". Dry ice causes moisture in the air to condense, forming fog. This is a purely physical, not chemical, change.

dry ice is for mixing with water to make fog
The visible "smoke" is water vapor condensing from the surrounding air into tiny water droplets (basically, fog). Gaseous carbon dioxide is clear and colorless.
No. The temperature of dry ice is far lower than that of ice water.
