thanks for the advice, as i said, i got it from an old book, the recipe was for a peice of paper that would explode on.... well, anything really. I actually realised how dangerous half the things in it was after another "trick" was to simulate swallowing moulten iron by making an allow using lead. so yeah, i think i will be giving that trick a miss.

I do have another question though, this time hopefully far more mundane and less likely to get me arrested as a terrorist . does anyone know of a UK source of Lithium Chloride and Potassium Chloride? (to make red fire and lilac fire when mixed with metylated spirits)

thanks in advance!

portfire: just because a chemical can be used for evil, doesn't mean that is its only possible use.... i am you could find far more horrific images related to gunpowder

hi, first post here. I am trying to find a source for a couple of chemicals that I came across in instructions in a old (1948, to be precise) magic (as in smoke and mirrors, type magic, not magick) book. does anyone know of a source in the UK for white phosphorus and/or carbon disulphide? i have been doing some googling etc and have come up with nothing.

thanks in advance!
