You can buy a firework version of these, that isn't toxic. It lacks comedy value in not actually poisoning people who breathe in the smoke, but is much easier to get hold of.
You would be charged with attempted murder for using mercury, but you can use lighter fluid with baking soda and sugar. The same thing in those "fireworks".
