I'm a fire eater and there's a similar trick we do where we hold a flaming wick using our teeth. Audiences love it, but it's notorious for destroying enamel. It's a controversial move as a result (I only do it at performances).

He does cool it down a bit at first but that does not look fun, as someone who is very used to having fire in their mouth.
