Ninja smoke/flash
A classic trick in movies is throwing a vial on the ground which causes a near instant cloud of smoke (and flash) after which the 'ninja' swiftly
disappears.
I've been wondering what sort of mixtures or compounds would produce such an effect.
It would have to be non-toxic (or minimal), very fast and relatively safe to carry yet impact sensitive.
Is anyone familliar with mixtures that would do this or ideas for what would work?

White Phosphorus with kicker charge makes smoke dispersion with "ninja"-speed. I would not recommend being physically present in a willy Pete cloud
however.

Exotic from YouTube has a decent video on it. I never did what he did since impact smoke bombs aren't something I'm interested in.

There's a YouTube channel called ninja chemist that has done a few videos on impact smoke bombs and the like. Mostly with granulated rocket candy, but
there was another one using an organic peroxide, can't remember which one, but if it's ignited without an open flame it creates a cloud of irritating
smoke.

I used to have a Paladin Press book that detailed their production. Just a bunch of caps glued to a steel ball bearing with a tube of flash paper
around it with flash powder poured into each end then folded up. I bought everything from a magic shop once upon a time, the worked okay.

Firefox sells special effects powder just like you are looking for but I'm not sure they're even in business anymore - I sent them an email some time
ago and never got an answer.
