I just wonder though whether that was faked. I'm no expert but if you freeze 
the video it looks as though the melon is there one frame then gone the 
next. But I could be wrong. I wonder what they used?

Hum, impressive but how much of that is due to the containment of the 
explosive or even the end of the black powder fuse inside the self 
amalgamating tape and how much of the melon destruction is down to pen 
shrapnel? And was the melon "vaporised" or just split apart and spread 
about out of shot, significant difference.

Black powder in an open tray just goes "whoosh", constrain it and you get 
a rather different result.

Google ANFO for how to make it.
Wikepedia do a good write up on it.
