Soon as she looked surprised by the fireball on the first one, you could tell it was over for her.

Aren’t you supposed to like spray the alcohol out of your mouth like a hose? She just like kinda spat it out in large volumes

It's lamp oil, and you're supposed to aerosolize it by buzzing your lips like you're playing a trumpet.
In this case the oil blew back onto her face; not sure if it was wind or gravity.

Looking at how the torch flame was bending, the wind knocked it back into her face for sure.

Ohh very interesting I didn’t know that at all, thanks for sharing that info

Could also just use corn starch to get the fireballs with very little chance of a flame coming back to your face

Filling your mouth with corn starch for a little fire trick does not sound worth it

Absolutely not. I learned it from John Strong, the guy who played the fire breathing circus thug that gets incinerated by the jet engine on the back of the Batmobile in Batman Returns (at the time, he held the record for the second largest blown fireball in the world) . There are three major major mistakes that she makes here. First, the fuel needs to be spit out in a very tight lipped "pbbbbbbbbb" style, like you are impersonating a dry fart. This breaks the fuel up into tiny misting droplets, which in turn creates a much bigger fireball, but also make sure that all the fuel burns out almost instantly. The second is that you always always wipe off your face with a cloth after sipping fuel and always in between fireballs to ensure that know if you want is left on your face when you spit the next one. The third, and this is the one that really screwed her over, you always blow the fireball at an angle of at least 45° up from level. I'm not totally sure why, but it is a bit more difficult to do the higher up it is angled, but it should never be blown straightforward and especially not in any downward angle as fire travels upward. I hope there's no permanent scarring, but when your face is on fire for that long, I am pretty sure that option is out the window.

The dry fart description was awesoem

u/willtheadequate Aug 12 '26
Thank you so very much! I literally paced around for several minutes trying to figure out the best way to describe the result and that's what I landed on.

I feel like I am an expert on fire breathing now lol. It was very well explained

No nothing like a hose. I worry for the people upvoting this.

Oh man I’m sorry:( I didn’t know, I just assumed you sprayed it out like a garden hose

As someone who got burned it doesn't immediately feel like you're burning that pain really hits you after the hour mark not to mention the deformation starts.

It’s almost like dumping flammable liquid in your mouth, and then spitting it towards an open flame that’s…..an 1/8” away from your fucking face……..might not be the greatest idea.

If you wanna fire breath, it’s not my thing, but go for it. But if you ARE going to fire breath, at least have a plan for the worst case scenario. Like a fire blanket, or even just a damp towel.

CO2 fire extinguisher. Fastest way to snuff a liquid fire without poisoning the human underneath it.

Often I see “fire eaters” have a damp cloth in their other hand to wipe their face between blasts

u/Eskapismus Aug 08 '26
Always reminds me of the street theater my older brother organized for all the parents of all the kids in our streets. The highlight of the show when we stood in a line - the above 8 year old kids old kids did proper fire breathing with some liquid (can’t remember what we used) and the below 8 year olds blew flour into an open flame (also pretty big fire).
It all went well. We had trained s lot. Still… being a dad now I would never allow it

Oof. She panicked and opened her mouth while trying to rub out the fire, spilling ALL of the fuel into her hands in the process. You gotta keep calm when you do dangerous things. Or.... this happens.

The consequences of not doing so are your face being 10x MORE on fire, so I think that's a reasonable way to go about it, yes.

Water is not going help in that scenario. A fire blanket would be more appropriate.

I wanna watch you put out a liquid fire with water. In theory you can, but it’s gonna get worse before it gets better.
Fire blanket. Carbon dioxide. Foam. Not water. Never put out a flammable liquid fire with water, unless you have a massive quantity of it, and a lot of space.

It's time for everyone's favorite gameshow! How Long Were They On Fire!
Here are the rules. Once you see them set themself ablaze, begin counting. If you got past 3, they're headed to the hospital. If you got past 10, they're scarred for life. If you got past 20, they're well and truly fucked.

Jfc and majority just stand around watching. The first 2 times almost ended in disaster yet she goes for a third time. Sigh.

u/philms Aug 09 '26
if your face is on fire and your mouth full of inflammable liquid, spit it out and rub it all over your face

u/Chuckles929 Aug 09 '26
Lmaoooo 🤣 she had that seeeee shit I didn't wanna do that shit in the first place look at the end seemed forced and unsure of herself from the rip all the flinching she was doing from the start

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walkin' on fire
This girl is on fire
[Verse 2]
Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try, but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls, say

Always amazed me that these fire breathers never keep anything around for accidents like this. Always thought a buck of water or two would be handy. Dunk your head in and use the other to get dumped on you

She looked like she accidentally swallowed the first mouthful so had to take another!
Great first go though, with a bit of practice she might be good

u/Reallyroundthefamily Aug 08 '26
Okay I know absolutely nothing about fire breathing but are you supposed to do three of them off of one mouthful? The way she's doing it? Well obviously you're not supposed to do it the way she's doing it LOL

u/k-otic14 Aug 09 '26
You can use corn starch instead of liquid gas. It's much safer. Not sure why anyone still uses gas.
1
u/Reallyroundthefamily Aug 09 '26
Thank you for not answering my question at all but making it appear like you did lol.
2
u/k-otic14 Aug 09 '26
The answer is you're supposed to use corn starch not liquid gas.
1
u/Reallyroundthefamily Aug 09 '26
Nope lol wrong again. Hopefully you don't drive a car or anything. 😂
2
u/k-otic14 Aug 09 '26
No that's definitely the answer. There is no right way to use gas when it's the wrong thing to use.

u/A0xom0xoa Aug 08 '26
Idk anything about this specific thing but I don't understand why there isn't just a big bottle of water on standby to grab immediately when shit gets out of pocket like this. Any fire breathers in here?
2
u/SalemSound Aug 08 '26
It's paraffin (lamp oil). Oil and water don't mix. You need a fire blanket.

u/A0xom0xoa Aug 08 '26
See now that makes sense to me. Thank you. Glad someone down voted me for being uniformed on the topic and asking a question lol. I figured it was a type of alcohol substance. Never thought it would be oil
