magnusfate 10 months ago

does this work on zippo lighter fliud?

magnusfate 10 months ago

sorry for the double post..but i burned my hand doing this experiment
...so can u explained wad did i do wrong?
1)get a 100% cotten
2)tied with string without needle
3)put zippo lighter fuid and burn it..
4) it burned my hand

cwiltz 10 months ago

Hey magnus fate,

Sorry u got burned -
i didn't make the video but I'm told that zippo fluid burns too hot too quickly to be used in this. You want to use normal lighter fluid (butane?) that doesn't burn as hot - and also make sure you keep your hands moving try using cold water on your hands too.

snakez 10 months ago

dat was cool but when i tried it i got burned i used odorless charcoal lighter fluid

ransom 8 months ago

This does not work. I used the exact lighter fluid he used and it burns very hot. You will definitely burn your hands.

Angel M 6 months ago

Awesome. Combine this with the colored fire tutorial and it'd be twice as good.

Btw find the colored fire tut here:

That's pretty cool bro, thought there was going to be more to it but amazed at the simplicity.

Stratus 5 months ago

Great effect! I'm a professional magician and can use this idea, thanks. Years ago as a kid we put the fluid on our hands. Didn't get burrned, just warm. I am not suggesting anyone do this without knowing the limitations and handleing of fire props.

chau84MC 5 months ago

Hewaboy last month

haha

christisdale last month

soak your hand in cold water before you hold it. its obviously gonna be somewhat hot but i think its more of a mental than physical heat. Holding a ball of fire isn't a normal thing for most of us so you have to get used to it. also, DO NOT soak the ball too much otherwise the flaming fluid will drip onto your hands which does burn htem :P

GothMagi last month

Okay, I tried it. Couldn't wait. Got burned. Even soaked my hands in cold water first. After reading the comments I thought "Oh, these people just THOUGHT they would get burned because it probably does get a little uncomfortably hot but not enough to actually get burned. If I just start with cold hands & keep it moving etc., I'll be fine. I can take a little intense heat. Blah, blah..." - WRONG! So, you're obviously leaving something out of the equation here. Come on now, you've had your fun. It's been posted about nine months. What's the REAL secret? My fingers still sting!

GothMagi last month

You WILL get burned if you follow the instructions exactly as in the vid! There is some additional secret to this that isn't included here. Probably a chemical protectant for the skin. Please God, I MUST know!

firelarson last month

uhmmm i heard that petroleum jelly on your hands makes it not hot, maybe try that if ur willing to lol

Thaman 2 weeks ago

dude, petroium jelly is made from, and into oil.

that doesn't sound so non-flammable

AngryBabyMonkey last month

daaaaam i think im not going to try this one !!
teeh ! ...........no chance ........

Thaman last month

never done it b4, but i can tell its awsome

burticus last month

Back in elementary school I did this trick where you soak cloth in water, add alcohol (for fuel) and lit it on fire. You get fire but it doesn't burn the cloth. Try soaking the ball in water and then add the fuel. If that doesn't work, you have a fire ball that doesn't burn and so what if you can't hold it. You shouldn't be playing with fire anyway. :)

giggitygiggity 4 weeks ago

burn the #$%@ out of your hands. i spen 10 gay bucks on the materials. waste of time.

rik756 1 week ago

Maybe his hands or fingertips were covered in that clear liquid bandaid stuff? Nuskin or something... It seems like that would provide a little protective layer maybe.

KazumaHaseo 1 week ago

i tried it and i added my own thing after reading the comments, i found out that you can use non flammable styling gel, just rub it on your hands like lotion, it worked great for me. Go Pyros!!!
