flame on a stick

i was told that if you take the flame from the top left hand of a rockets end plug for a shell, it wouldnt need a delay. but when i tryed it, it fired the shell of after 10 ft. any body know how i can remedy this?

does any body know how to make golden powder?

i had a go with this and it worked ok, although it only banged twice and it was a 5 bang cracker. it did burn all the way through so i think it was low quality BP that caused it to fail. i will have a fillm of it on you tube in a few days under the name of 'rapidrory'
