    I’m a fire performer. Slow motion, high framerate shots of anything involving fire in the dark are absolutely gorgeous. Every flame is beautiful, you just have to know where to look. My favorites are candles and lycopodium.

    Personal favorite form of combustion is fire eating. I used to fire eat on the cast at Coney Island. There’s a lot of vapor tech you can do that is straight up witchcraft, like hiding a flame inside your mouth.

        You can try, but all of you is on fire, and if the fire goes out you die

    Butane lighters where it’s under pressure and comes out like a little jet engine. It just makes my inner 12yo boy smile.
