Things were more relaxed back then. This is really well worth seeing, pharao's serpent <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQdK7gaZS0k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQdK7gaZS0k>. Some of it even looks like CGI but it's not. Pharao's serpent when lit gives of vapours of metallic (elemental) mercury. In some youtube vids you can even see some of it condensing on the glass of the enclosure. You could buy this stuff over the counter at joke shops back then and I did. The instructions said "windows and doors should be opened wide". People complain about health and safety regs now, but... Edit: seriously, if you've never seen this before, watch the vid
