  • yep. Gasses can be poured just like liquids... it's just a little harder to aim where they're going.

  • bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) + vinegar= sodium acetate + water + cabon dioxide

    NaHCO3+HC2H3O2---> NaC2H3O2+H2O+CO2

    he's puoring the the CO2 which is putting out the candles... well that or its magic.
