Cool. Haven't seen this stuff for years. I believe it used to be sold in toy shops as indoor fireworks. Brings back memories of lighting the stuff on the kitchen table when I was around eight and it was fascinating to watch and it still is.
6 hours ago I was bored in my science class studying chemical reactions bored out of my mind. Now I'm fascinated on Youtube. You dear scientist sir, have BLOWN my mind!
How stable is it? Can you prepare some, say, a week in advance of using it?
Can you believe it? I looked on the shelf at Wal-Mart for water soluble mercury salt and ammonium thiocyanate and they were out! Will Spam and tuna work? Or do I need a different supplier?

What is the product of the buring mercury thiocyanate?

Why don't you pour Mg(NO3)2 into NH4HCS directly?

I'm guessing because it has mercury this is not what they make crinkly snakes out of.

Is it toxic? I'd like to propose this experiment in class.

@TheGAMEBOY1994 Mercury compounds are toxic. The experiment is also not so safe. This reaction produces toxic gas.

Nothing about Mercury is good when it gets inside your body. Nothing. Anything that has Hg in it is bad.
