Ok, so that's really stupid. Mercury thiocyanate is highly toxic and exposing yourself (and children) to it is not at all good, especially by burning it.

That said it does look very cool

that does look pretty cool, but like DMcA said, all mercury compounds are toxic, so its not a recommended thing to do.

That borders on endangerment, considering how nasty that stuff is.
