Yeah, I figured it'd be a fake video about 5 seconds into it.

So as to not disappoint, here's what the real thing looks like.

I don't know Cory, I thought the same, then went through it frame by frame during the explosion, shrugs..

Well, let me help you out.

First, notice that the fuse burns more like a wick (for about 1/4 second).

Next notice that the fuse burn never made it into the charge

The screen goes gray during the explosion, which incidentally is colored yellow - magnesium would produce a very blue-white flash.

Finally, notice that he's covered in black residue - flash powder made with magnesium leaves a white residue.

Your first 2 points I thought the same but dismissed because modern fuses burn internally, but I have to give it to you on the property's of magnesium..

A new one I found...

This man is a marvelous idiot.

ETA: After watching it once more, I'm pretty sure this is fake too, but much better done...

The big giveaway here is that the fuse seems to act a hell of a lot more like a sparkler, and the explosion produces a cute little mushroom cloud of gray smoke..
