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.

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

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.
