A fireball shooter the I built over the course of two days with various types of results including sparks and green flames (don't worry, there is actual video). Here's the website where you can purchase the materials:

UPDATE (June 23, 2008): Proto 2 has been dismantled. JB weld did not hold the end cap in place due to not enough contact between the tube and the nut. I've built Proto 3 which has a better end design allowing more contact between the tube and the nut. However, I would reccomend not using brass tubing. I noticed that the inside of the tube gets coated with a kind of green mush (probably a reaction between the brass and the flash cotton resulting in copper oxide). Aluminum tubing might be better, but it will definately be lighter.

UPDATE (June 25, 2008): Proto 3 is finished and Proto 4 is almost ready for testing. However, I've been delayed by the death of my one and only glo-plug. When Proto 4 finishes testing, more videos will be uploaded.

    I would imagine that the bare minimum would cost $35.
    I bought extras to make up for S&H and HazMat fees which were fixed.

    I didn't have any heat shrink tubing that was the correct size at the time so I decided to get rid of it. It's not entirely necessary, I found it to be used for aesthetic reasons mostly.

    Why thank you. Although, the music was not the point of the video. I'm making another video should you wish to suggest one. . .
