REALLY nice Martini.

That detonating compound is a good one. Could be unstable, though.
The mixture of 5 parts Potassium Chlorate, 1 part sublimed sulfur, 1 part charcoal is VERY explosive.
I suspect 1 part each, as in 50/50 sublimed sulfur/potassium chlorate would be slightly more controlled - less demonstrative.

Lovely. If I knew where it was and could even remotely manage the $, it would be mine. Thank you for sharing.
