1.3.1 Flash Paper
Making homemade flash paper is very dangerous. Alternatively it can be bought quite cheaply at a commercial magician shop. This is recommended. Read all steps first before attempting to make flash paper.

You will need the following items:
Sulfuric Acid
Nitric Acid
Rubber Gloves
A Glass Rod
A Shallow Glass Dish

1. A solution of 4 parts concentrated sulfuric acid and 5 parts concentrated nitric acid should be prepared.

2. Mix the acids in small quantities and in a slow manner as to prevent pre-mature explosion from heat or the splashing of acids.

3. Were rubber gloves at all times.

4. Place solution made in step 1 in a shallow glass dish. Place white tissue paper in solution and let soak for 10 minutes

5. Remove paper from glass dish with a glass rod.

6. Wash the paper in running water removing all of the acid.

7.Dry the newly form flash paper in open air. Keep away from heat sources and fire.

8. Flash paper is volatile. Store paper between cardboard or untreated tissue paper.

1.3.2 Flash Bombs

Flash bombs can be constructed by wrapping flash powder in flash paper. To use light the paper and throw to produce a close quarters flash that will temporarily blind the enemy.

1.4 Smoke Screen

When titanium chloride is exposed to air it creates thick volumes of smoke.

1.4.1 Smoke Bombs

To make a smoke bomb place the chemical titanium chloride in a egg shell or egg shaped container. When thrown the container will break on impact and release a smoke screen.

1.5 Liquid Fire

Liquid fire consists of yellow phosphorous dissolved in carbon disulfide. When this mixture is exposed to air the carbon disulfide evaporates quickly causing the remaining phosphorous to ignite. Liquid fire is extremely flammable and will burst into flames when exposed to air. Thus is must be kept in a glass jar with a glass stopper as the mixture will eat through rubber.

Special Thanks To: Oscar Diaz-Cobo's book for clarifying liquid fire for me. I have used it before but I couldn't remember what to dissolve the yellow phosphorous in.
