Glycerin Reacting With Potassium Permanganate And Magnesium Powder!

I put 4 drops of glycerin(glycerine, glycerol) onto a mix of 2 pars potassium permanganate powder, and one part magnesium powder, as the exothermic reaction got hotter and hotter, it ignited the glycerin, and soon after the mix of powders. The purple flame you can see right before the flash is the glycerine burning(it is purple from potassium ions)

cool! nice idea of putting a pyro composition and a hypergolic reaction together, makes for a really nice effect.
