I'm not a stage magician either, but I do know enough about it to know that
non-prestidigitators are usually too fast to pin magic tricks on exotic
substances when the real magic is the time-tested switcheroo. Most weird
substances are not all that useful for tricks, being unpredictable and toxic
and requiring special education to go messing about with.
Considered as a magic trick, the blood liquification is trivial, a simple
switch. Two vials, one appearance.
