Video Transcript

"Now I'm going to show you in sequence, how I end my show with fire. I have two torches. And I'm letting them burn using different tricks with the fire. And manipulating it in very simply and easy ways. But of course, you notice at no time do I lose control of the fire. Or do I let it fly loosely around. Now, besides doing a little show, showing them some fun tricks with the fire, I'm giving myself time to think about which way the wind is blowing and how I'm going to present the final eat of the fire. I'm also letting the fuel burn off. And while I'm doing this, each time the fire passes in front of my face, I'm looking at the torch. Still too hot. Still too hot. Swing it around some more. Ah, looks about right. I bring up one. I do a false one. I bring it up a second time and do a false one again. And now my fire is nice and low. And I want to show it to them quite well. So I lay down on the ground, and do it slowly. Watching where the top of the fire is."
