We had magnesium "ribbon" back in high school... about 1/8 wide and
maybe 30' on a roll. You could just tear of a bunch of little pieces and
light them with a spark from a welding striker.
I see that United Nuclear still sells it, with this warning:
"Do not stare directly at burning Magnesium fires, they are extremely
bright and rich in UV light - Eye damage can result."

Oh man... I think I could easily get myself put on the FBI's watch list
with what I'd love to order and play with from that web site...
