Or flash paper
(m)
ASSUMING you could get the concentrated nitric acid, other reagents and
equipment for nitrating cellulose [flash paper] I would highly discourage
you from attempting to make it yourself. You are literally playing with
fire! They call "gun cotton", a close relative to flash paper, by the name
for a reason.
Purchase this magician's stuff from a magic supply house.
Trying to make it yourself could be a real BLAST!
Flash Paper, Flash Cotton, Flash String
I have cotton curtains hanging in front of hot water heat pipes and am concerned about starting a fire. Would like to know if this is safe or not.
It should be okay, from what I could find. Cotton tinder has a flashpoint of 210 degrees C (410 degrees F), and a self-ignition point of 407 degrees C (764 degrees F). I would not expect any common cotton product to have a flashpoint lower than tinder.
I'm looking for magician's flash paper in the Boston/Cambridge/Arlington MA area. I have found several online suppliers but the shipping insurance is prohibitively expensive, and I'd prefer to find a bricks-and-mortar local supplier.
Thanks!
might try Jack's Joke shop on Tremont Street in Boston (between Lagrange and Stuart Streets). Or call first 617-426-9640
Online, http://www.magical-tricks.com/Flash%20Pa per.htm, shipping is $3-$4 for the paper....
any weblinks would be appreciated
Honestly, unless you are a competent chemist and have access to a lab, you much better off buying it. There are many sources on the web and most magic stores should carry it. It's pretty inexpensive, so, no point wasting time making it.
Why do the big trucks that pick up the bails of cotton from the fields have the flashing yellow lights on the front and back bumpers? No other transfer truck has this light.
Safety....
Many times the work of loading these bales lasts well into the night. Then the areas are rural with little natural lighting and no street lights. Its VERY dark and these trucks are parked alongside the road.

Don Ysidro—Bruce Holland Rogers—Flash Fiction Online
On that last morning, anyone who came to visit me could see that I was dying. I knew it myself. As if I had cotton in my ears, I heard the voice of don Leandro saying to my wife, “Doña Susana, I think it is time to fetch the priest,” and I thought, yes, it’s time. We don’t have our own priest, or even our own church, so someone has to drive in a pickup truck to get the priest from El Puentecito. But don’t be fooled by what you may hear in Malpasa or in Palpan de Baranda. Here we remain Catholic. Yes, we make pots in the old way. That’s why tourists come here. And it’s true, as is sometimes whispered, that we have restored certain other practices from the past. But not as they were done back then. Those were bloody and terrible times, the times of the Mejica. They say that the sacrificial blood covered the sun pyramids from top to bottom. Thank the Virgin, we don’t do anything like that.
