Snow ice is not ideal. It will melt rapidly, over-diluting your drink. You will be much better off with crushed ice, which are larger in size.

Also, of all the Black Magics I've had at the Mai-Kai, I don't believe I've ever seen one layered with the coffee liqueur on the bottom. You might like it that way though, but it seems to me your straw is going to hit nothing but coffee liqueur for the first few sips, that is if it will actually layer like that.
