I've never seen a rocket where the effect is lit at the same time as the motor. ALL the rockets I've seen have risen under power, then coasted to apogee then the payload has lit to burn while falling.
However to achieve your project you could fix the star at the top and use two pieces of (same reel) visco cut to the same length, to light in both place at the same time.

that does sound like a good idea with the VSCO I could use 2 equal length of fast VSCO attached to some slow to start out. I got the quick match idea from Ned Gorski check out the first rocket in this video.I've never seen a rocket where the effect is lit at the same time as the motor.

It's fusing! There must be a dozen ways to fuse everything in order.

This was the specific video that gave me the idea. I asked him about it in the comments and he confirmed that's how it was done. I just made my very first batch of black match just for this project. But I must say I liked your idea a little better

my main concern was the quick match shooting fire all the way up to the top of the core potentially exploding my motor. Your idea solves that problem and is less work.It's fusing! There must be a dozen ways to fuse everything in order.
