Beware!  Many people have seriously injured themselves playing with
this substance.  I suggest starting out small ( < 1 oz. iodine ).
Here is the nice simple method:

Take iodine (not iodine solution) and mix it with ammonia.
Let it sit for a while and then run the mess through a paper towel.
The lump of stuff will blow up as it dries out.
Beware the fumes of ammonia--not only are they less then fun, but
they are almost sure to attract attention (not to say that the
explosions won't).

net.rec.bangs anyone?
