Can I make a fire with emergency firestarter?

I thought it might be a good idea to see if I can successfully make a fire using only magnesium and a flint and no flame source. I do quite abit of hiking and this is one of the items I carry with me in my backpack in case of emergency.
I have never tried this so I thought it would be good practice to do in a non emergency situation and see if I can actually make a fire. I will continue to practice and hope to become better and more efficient.
