I'm a semi-retired professional fire manipulator.

This guy is full of crap.

Don't listen to him. Seriously.

This video series needs to be removed from youtube. Sir you are going to get someone killed or seriously burned. I am speaking from over 20 years of fire eating experience with over 2,000 public demonstrations and shows, countless teaching and practice sessions with magicians, novelty acts, Broadway productions, major theme park and circus sideshow entertainers. Your lack of complete or even accurate information is a danger to those who are interested in learning this skill.

@DavidDevlin666 well you can use kevlar just not the way he's saying.... if you buy staffs for fire eating most of the time they are made of kevlar but they also don't have half a hanger hanging out the other side.... and the safest fuel(biologically anyways.. not sure how it burns though) to use is everclear but you might only get through 1 or 2 wicks before you cant walk anymore lmfao

[d3dreaper]

did he seriously say to use toilet paper as wicking???? is he fuckin retarded??? Has he ever seen the way toilet paper burns?! and yea lets flick the fuel around our feet so some of it can soak into your shoes or foliage on the ground and cause a spectacular show ending....... expert village my ass....

there are many different methods of doing this. I made and use my torches made from kevlar wick, and give me no trouble. I have not burned my self due to materials. And parafin my work for you, but i use parafin to breath fire not eat, white gas, such as colemans works for ME as far as fire eating goes. And that was the way I learned from a professional fire show/school.

Find the way that is best for you! Though I do agree that it is best to look for a live teacher to guide.

[bahremon2170]

Yeah as of two days ago I decided to pursue fire eating as a hobby and i already know enough to know this guy is a fucking idiot whos foing to get someone seriously hurt. and the best thing to use is parafin i think

[DavidDevlin666]

This guy is a moron and his videos should be removed not only from YouTube but the entire net. If you follow this guy's instructions, you will get hurt, maimed, or killed. You do NOT use kevlar or toliet paper. You use 100% cotton and 100% cotton thread. He is using charcoal lighter fluid. No. You use camping fuel. In order to learn fire eating you MUST have a live teacher to guide you.
