I don't mean to mess up your instructable but I think its easier to throw some copper wires on whatever fire you make, I mean, you can't use this mixture everywhere!

Plus, be carefull if you use magnesium as it burns at really high temperatures, you could burn a hole on the table, and the flame is REALLY bright, don't look directly at it!

But nice instructable anyway, I didn't know boric acid creates green flames!

Oh, I'm not saying that people carry copper wires everywhere.
I meant that you can only use this in a bowl, but with copper you can even throw it at a bonfire to create a nice effect!
