Scam School - Episode 14 - Fire Eating

[davideburford]

Dude!! That was amazing. How long have you been doing Fire Eating? I've been doing it for a lil over 6 months now. I'm still working on the tongue transfer and breathing the flame yet!!

[stanznut101]

how bad would it be if his hair caught on fire, there is enough fuel there lol

[ronanmkeilthy]

[WRWhizard]

Oh yea... the theory of "Cold Fire". Sorry, no such thing,

Thanks Brian! I learned at least two, maybe three very nice techniques from this video. Saved to playlist!

[TheCirrus45]

@WRWhizard well the "coldest" fire, not really cold but not as hot is blue and that flame is not blue

[Samantha4284]

[aphi1022]

fire eaters need to step up the game they need to learn how to fire shiting

[1297monster]

that shit was cool

[dantheman1507]

GREAT!

[Nawaz101]

You can be the greatest magician but if you're a terrible performer, your audience will never like you... This guy is great at both!

[ThatKidKnows]

Do not try at home I assume?

[ajacksonh]

when he said "human candle" i was hoping he would set his hair on fire

[ProgressiveBoink]

Is that Pauly D?

[zxLEXxz]

Heartburn?

[TheDeathkngiht]

@qqaa93 he's using butan which is found in the cheap lichters that Brian was using

[qqaa93]

Exactly which fuel are you using?

[techjunkie11able]

@qqaa93 it is lighter fluid



[davidcoco25]

how does he not get burned

[lofhy]

@davidcoco25 thats what im wondering too

[HubbaBubbaVj]

FIRE IS HOT!

[jd16596]

SONIC BOOM

[dancinginair]

what kind of fuel are you using taht you are redipping warn wicks into a plastic bottle repeatedly?? i am useid to lamp oil and white gas.. maybe rubbing alchohol for sm stuff...

i'd love to get this guys book!

[Aawsy]

@PsychoPrisoner im so going to start saying that

[joey12127]

my friend taught me how to do it he knew how to hes 10 he has a shotgun and knows how to make a flame thrower his dad a police he can do it. He can hold fire in his mouth and he can sqeez the fire with his hand no specail liquid at all weird

[Dr0p0ffCC]

@joey12127 haha "he has a shotgun"

[joey12127]

@Dr0p0ffCC Yup :)

[madmonkeyben]

awsome!!!!!! can you tell me where to get some fire eating sticks like that and just say what type of fuel you find good and use

[pntballer4life01]

what does the guy say at 1:50

[shinyw05]

@pntballer4life01 here we go

[pntballer4life01]

@shinyw05 no the guy in the audience

[TheMysticWolfAura]

I will not give Brian Brushwood the title of "The Dragon Man" since he eats fire so much.

[ClueLou]

really like the flame on his pants...

[BQuilla15]

You are awesome Brian!...Could you tell me how you do please..

[jugglejoolz]

This is great theatre! My ex used to put a lit fire torch down his trousers (just regular fit blue jeans), as part of our act, & bring it out the other end still lit. Classic.

[jugglejoolz]

I can do this! (See one of my youtube videos) If there's no wind I can hold the flame in my mouth for at least ten seconds. There's no cheat to it. I love the spitting the flame back out to ignite the second torch at 2.24 - I must master that!

[abctime35]

this trick is very dangerous. it not a one day thing i know a guy who got 3 degree burns trying to learn this. but he very good at it now but still has burn marks on his face.

[Blu1Blu]

When he's transferring the flame from his tongue to the other torch...how is he not swallowing/consuming the fuel? Does the fire just burn it away on the surface of his tongue? I know its completely DANGEROUS to consume any fuel when fire performing so I was really wondering about this & hoped there are other fire performers on here who could answer this for me. Thanks!!

[swiminthesoil]

He's awesome at that. I really don't want to learn how to do this though lol

[VoodoomagicRomania]

@PeterPandoraMagic your friend lied...there is no such thing as..."cold fire" there are some tehniques but what you see is what it is

[pstarf]

@VoodoomagicRomania hahaha nice way of using wikipedia dude

[VoodoomagicRomania]

@pstarf actually i am a fire eater i haven t read it in any books :)but i ve heard many tails like we use a special substance that we put on the tourch and makes the fire cold...that amused if there is a substance like this please let me know our work will be much easy:)) another thing that is partial true that we use some cream that protects our skin from burning.i san that is partial true because there is such a creme but it use by fireman i haven t heard any fire eaters to use this kind

[simba6777]

SKILS

[LoritaCosta]

my dog is hurt

[MikeWyman100]

dont try to teach your dog. they dont possess the magic ionic breeze that lets you breath fire!

[gut197]

does it hurt him at all?

[igz20]

i want to learn that ! Where can i find his vid on it

[JudyWonn]

imagen him swallowing fire,then the tips of his hair caught on fire,hahaha

[PeterPandoraMagic]

no joguba, a friend of mine who actually does fire eating says its very similar to tiki torch fluid, which actually wont burn your skin due to its thickness and long burning rate, HOWEVER if skin is placed above the flame it can burn you. hope this helps!

[Joguba123]

is that nail polish remover in that jar?

[mindfreakfan67]

come on explanation?

[TylerWdt101]

THERE WE GO!!

[grosslyclever]

How the hell do you do that? Where did you learn? I wanna learn!

[whipkid21]

@grosslyclever i eat fire, but i was trained by perfesionals. you should find someone to teach you so you dont hurt yourself, it can go seriosly wrong.

~spinn on~

[sting8426951]

Yes there is such thing as cold fire. See how he dips it in the jar. Thats lighter fluid. Go watch a video on fire balls that you can hold. They put them in lighter fluid. Cold fire.

[randyrupajunsay]

amazing!!! well explained..

[sting8426951]

This guy is so stupid. He uses ligther fluid which is a cold fire. Look up fire balls and you will see how dumb this guy is.

[1977washingtonson]

Your stupid, there is no such thing as "cold fire" dumb ass

[kamerius]

Cold fuel. He meant that possibly...

[1977washingtonson]

I am a fire eater and I hear that phrase a lot in the fire performing community from spectators, telling me that I am using "cold fire" or its a trick. Its not a trick, and if there was "cold fire" I would be using it, there is not trick, just practice. But ANY one can learn to eat fire.

[kamerius]

I have heard of the slang term cold/hot fuel referring to the flammability of the fuel, or something like that...

[sting8426951]

Ur fucking stupid. Maybe this 3 year ol will learn on day. Sad fact that idiots like this walk our planet.

[sting8426951]

I mean 1977Washingtonson.

[1977washingtonson]

You should close your mouth when you talk, it will help keep you from looking ignorant.

[1977washingtonson]

The sad fact is that your dumb.

[horvath15]

Do you mean "you're dumb"?

[1977washingtonson]

YES!!! Thank you

[leomartiniello]

@sting8426951 i know, thats y i feel bad 4 u

[cs2sasuke150]

that may be true but you don't need to be mean.. as long as he is entertaining ppl it's ok to be stupid ..

[TheYaosuke]

what di the guy said?

[MovieMaker32]

Crazy lol awesome too

[boatlooker]

very talented.

[thewatcher3333]

i wonder what the fire taste like

[MASTERSHAKE1557]

tastes like burning xD

[arcano92]

Time to start a weekend project.

[BlackGhost574]

ive learned how to hold fire on my hand, im 15 and i dont realy know anything about, just found it on the net and the guy said that should learn how to trance so i dont feel the pain, so ive read some articles about it.... but i dont usualy do it cause it realy hurts when i lost my concentration... eerrrr nice vid btw!

[Lowlie1]

he uses lighter fluid....it doesnt burn as hot. you can make fireballs u can hold in your hand using the same principal: lighter fluid.

[Autononymous]

I think the ability to withstand the heat has something to do with the fuel that's used for the fire. Some fluids don't burn as hot, which makes them tolerable to hold in the mouth or hand. If you've ever seen the videos on how to make a fireball you can hold, same principles.

[PermittoNex]

@Autononymous there are special liquids involved

[tibiaroxxxx]

@Autononymous The fire acually very hot. Like a regular fire. But it dosnt hurt so bad to have a torch on your teeth. I dont remember why. But the front of the teeth dont hurt.

[RockinSaffie]

that is fuckin awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SouthAfricanNinja]

wat does he use to burn? it must burn quite cool for him to do that stuff

[awkwardmaniacs]

its white gas, no cooller than any other proforming gas, i should know, my whole family is into fire and i'm the first to fire eat, its white gas.

[aguaiza26]

dude i bet the stick has button dat makes the get out and go on

[zunidoll2]

This guy has a GREAT way of keeping the attention of the audience. He also is GREAT with covering up mistakes. He has a real nice flow to his routine.

[wukalukaluka]

that was amazing, i hate that he didnt tell us how

[suhailayinn]

AWESOME

[zeeslag123]

I subbed..

[Leadman1989]

would have been hilarious if he had said taste like chicken at some point

[zunidoll2]

P.S. to Bratcipheo, My comment was actually a reply to a comment to another comment from dauphin Pourpre who stated that Brian's book did not stress fire safety. Not sure how it became a post or reply to anything that you said.

[Bratcipheo]

well i was right then, you wrote me a comment that wasnt meant to me.Therefore your words sounded foolish.

[MrXtra100]

1:22 fire is hot lol

[pntballer4life01]

what did that one guy scream out

[Bratcipheo]

his way of talking, through history, about something noone cares about, it sounded SO much like the guy in American psycho who talked about music songs right before he started killing people.

[crazypete3]

when u are doing a performance like that you add information about history about what you are doing

only ass holes like you would make such a stupid comment

[Bratcipheo]

Seems like you don't know the movie.

God...how i hate the normal people, they are so dumb, yet they are all around me.

[crazypete3]

well im sorry i don't see every massacre movie on shelves, and normal people are not dumb, nor are they smart

thats kind of common sense

why do you think they call normal people, NORMAL PEOPLE

Normal - conforming with or constituting a norm or standard or level or type or social norm; not abnormal; "serve wine at normal room temperature"; "normal ...

i guess because your different you must be a rere

[Bratcipheo]

Exactly, im sure you find a retarded person "dumb" and below your lvl, well if someone is way smarter than norm, the "normal" people become dumb from his view.

They really are, but you have to be smart to see it.

Normal is just the average of a group of people, in a retarded school its lower than in a school for geniuses, you see intelligence is just in the prospective of the viewer.

[crazypete3]

well if a smart person sees a normal person being dumb then what would they see a dumb person being,

their cannot be a double negative then space out to your level, only smart people see that their is no normal people because its their point of view, but in reality their point of view does not matter

[Bratcipheo]

Well what a ideal and nice point of view from a average person, but im afraid its wrong.

How do you see an ape?thats how i see retarded people, how you see normal, i see retarded people, how you see very smart people, isee normal people.

Thats the way it is, you cannot know what and how a smarter person thinks, its impossible, but you know it the other way around.

[zunidoll2]

Many people do not know about how this originated. If you ever want to learn this (or anything for that matter) it is good to understand how all of it began. Can you do any of these tricks? If not, well then don't bad mouth him for his efforts. This is a VERY DANGEROUS act and it deserves A LOT of respect. DON'T EVER try this if you have no idea of what it involves or how it began. There is A LOT of history about this and it is not easy. Many people have been SERIOUSLY hurt by this.

[Bratcipheo]

shut up you fool.

In your opposing argument you wander of into how dangerous, that he deserves alot of respect, and how DANGEROUS it is.

I mean what?I haven't said thats wrong, you just wanna boast?That has nothing to do with what i said.

I only ment to show, how it reminds very very much of an actor in a scene of a movie.

And im sure, the minority cared about what he sayed(history stuff).

[zunidoll2]

First of all there was NO reason to tell me to shut up and call me a fool. Your comment sounded, to me, like you were being sarcastic about the dangers of fire and that no one really cares. JEEESSSHHH!!! LIGHTEN UP.

[Blu1Blu]

I was always taught that one SHOULD NEVER CONSUME any of the parafin wax or lamp oil while fire performing...but I see in the video that after he transfers the flame from one flame stick to the other, he has to rub on some of the oil on top of his tongue. Does that mean afterwards he consumed the liquid a little? Or did the flame burn it all up before he was done with the trick? Sorry if that question was confusing :/

[zunidoll2]

Asking questions doesn't hurt as much as ignorant does. That's how we learn.

I was told that if you drink milk or eat some sort of dairy product before and after, the fats in those foods can help to "neutralize" the toxic properties of lamp oil and Coleman's fuel that are used in these stunts. The amounts that actually get into your system are very small and your body should be able to handle that. Also, I usually also rinse my mouth with Listerine to help remove the excess fuel.

[jasonscubagod]

its parrafin wax! also known as lamp oil! it it a dangerouse thing but if u really wanna start start small an always respect the fire! i know it sounds cheesy but start small an u will end bit! i am new to this game but my progress is good! im self taught i do more fire breathing than eating but i prefer the eating side as it gets more cheers as it looks more dangerous!

[4455336]

he farts and its gonna be like spraying and aerosol can into a fire

[zunidoll2]

I have done several of these tricks and I can honestly say -THIS IS DANGEROUS!!! I am still learning some of them and you do get burnt a bit learning. DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT A TEACHER. Check it out on youtube - firestarter Brian

[adriandwayneacuna]

i want to know how to make fires comes out from your mouth and the fire are big.

[LxTaker]

what powder or material does he use?

[Topazmoon]

none its just lighter fluid..

[campos3452]

Yoga flame! Sonic boom!

[GuhBukSan]

ok the sonic boom was funny but hes a heckler, fucking annoying. Brian was just being nice

[GlitNeck]

Being a fire-eater myself I had to watch you. I'm so glad I did, Love your work.

[lopytube]

I was wondering where this one youtuber got sonic boom from on his SSS video.I know its from street fighter,i was wonder who said it !st

[rampagetv]

best fire eating routine ever.

[verycoldice2]

hehehe first time viewer and I LIKE IT!!

[Blu1Blu]

How do these people tolerate the insane heat of the fire on their skin? Like when he was performing the "Human Candle" & the flame was sitting on his lips....omg thats incredible!

[Isosyth]

im guessing that when he holds the flame in his teeth its becasue the fire/heat goes up and he is under it

[Topazmoon]

lighter fluid or rubbing alcohal evaporated fast. so it dont burn

[zunidoll2]

Regardless if the heat goes up, you STILL get burnt. When you start out learning this you get A LOT of burns. ALWAYS have a C02 Fire extinguisher, a bucket of ICE water with a couple of bath size towels and SOMEONE READY with first aid burn knowledge to help you in case of an accident. DO NOT EVER take ANY stunt for granted. MAKE SURE you have a THOROUGH understanding of what you want to do and a PROFESSIONAL with you when you learn.

[Blu1Blu]

Duh. I hope people can understand that "OMG LIEK FIRE BURNZ".

I would at least hope that many actually do understand this.

[NineOfTwo]

As far as I've understood, (this is what I've heard from a friend of mine who is a fire-eater) is that the flames is necessarily not as dangerous as the gasses from the liquids you use to produce the flames, which can (if inhaled) lead to chemical leukemia. (not sure if that is the correct term for it) Which is in most cases is quite the more dangerous than the actual flames.

[zunidoll2]

That is true and Brian as well as several other books and things I have read in the internet explains the same thing. I have also hear that drinking milk before and after fire eating helps to "neutralize" the hydro carbons in the lamp oil and pass it through your system without as much damage to your liver.

[NineOfTwo]

I just realized that it's not leukemia, the blood cancer, (how did i mix that up?). but Pneumonia, sorry for the confusion

[ConsumerofCombustion]

Awesome performer and this is such a smooth and cool routine.

and fire-eating shouldn't be learned from a book, but someone with experience.

[Cprimex]

unless you want to burn your mouth like an idiot

[freakaleak114]

*sneezes @ 1:57*

lol

[kingofkards91]

What was with the SonicBoom joke in the beginning? I don't understand.

[fullbloodlion]

If you have ever played Street Fighter, there is a character named Guile that looks like Brian, mainly because of the hair. His special attack is called Sonic Boom, where he shoots a... well... he shoots some kind of energy out of his hands.

[Axtred]

wtf how did u do that!

[shadeWSPA]

Hey man...I'm a fellow pro fire-eater (based in Australia), so I'm pretty discerning when it comes to watching others. But you're damn good man. Good to see there are other pros who can do more than 2 tricks. good onya mate

[DauphinPourpre]

I am also a fellow fire performer. I agree, he is quite skilled but I've also seen his book and I am not impressed. At the very least, it needs to be edited to stress safety, not just mention it as a 'TIP'. I've met someone, that is now a friend, that tried to learn fire eating from said book and nearly died b/c basic safety was only mentioned, not interwoven into the instructions.

[zunidoll2]

WHOAH, If you READ the book, safety was STRESSED!!!. This guy gave the most a updated instruction AND SAFETY knowledge that is available. HE DID STRESS SAFETY. As for your friend- I am glad that he did NOT get killed doing this, but you CANNOT learn this from a book ONLY. Brian ALSO posted a disclaimer that he is NOT responsible for someone's STUPIDITY of trying to learn from a book ONLY. You NEED a PROFESSIONAL who will help you in case of an emergency. GET IT???

[DauphinPourpre]

I never said that Brian was RESPONSIBLE for this person's actions or any others for that matter. But as we all have seen, here on youtube, people will try techniques from his book, without skilled professional supervision and accidents will happen. The best thing that can be done in that situation is to add MORE safety information to said book to protect the stupid people.

[zunidoll2]

That is why I have posted comments on clips where people have had accidents and warn all people who ask me about this to always do the research and speak to a professional BEFORE EVER attempting this.

[DauphinPourpre]

When a professional is not available, some people, NOT ALL, throw caution and good sense to the wind and attempt this anyway, because it looks easy. Truthfully, it's not difficult, but it can be deadly (or pretty damn close) if done incorrectly, but you know that.

[zunidoll2]

I have given plenty of heart attacks to my guardian angel when I first started doing this stunt MANY years ago. I USED high proof alcohol -(which is the WRONG stuff to use) - and was SOOOO LUCKY that I didn't kill myself . Since I have spoken to Brian and bought his book & video, I now better understand what COULD have happened to me and the safety issues.  I found his book to be the most up to date and informative. Look up fire breathing on youtube under Expert Village videos. GOOD video.

[magicmike323]

haha FIRE IS HOT!

[GbrsHalo]

fire indeed hot!

[dickvillian]

professy will help

[tankianchic930]

Thats wicked! And informative!!

[jardine64]

that was awesome!
