KNO3 will make shitty flash, and KCl03 might burn to fast for smoke.
Some oxidizers are interchangible, some arent, and some can be in differnt amounts.

i would cange the oxidizers, because KNO3 and aluminum will suck, but not with magnesium. It will make a better smoke mix that kcio3, and kcio3 will make a better flash powder with aluminum that with kno3. The flash powder will be pretty unstable so be careful.
