"So, you're going to play with fire and try to eat fire. Be very careful. Take your time. Remember, you can bring it up overhead as many times as you like and not put it in your mouth. There is no rush to eat the fire. Have another adult around. Two people keeping an eye on each other is safer than one. It's awfully hard to call nine one one when your lips are burning. So, this is a dangerous thing here, putting fuel on a lit fire. But again, I'm using the charcoal lighter fuel that's not so flammable. OK. If I used the white gas, watch the difference in reaction. Did you see how strong that was? That was a huge ball, and all the remaining fuel that's on the ground is now on fire. Whereas when I first did it, there was no fire. Before I quit, always put it out."
