Okay, so my fire-breathing friend who has been promising to teach me is flaking out, over and over and over again. I would like to start breathing fire, and was wondering if any members could help me out? I plan on using parrafin , so any tips along those guidelines would help. I am well aware of the danger, risk, and terseness of the situation without a 'professional' holding my hand, and am willing to take those risks in order to learn a skill I have always been fascinated with. Thanks guys, any help would be awesome!!!

yeah, its def cool to watch, impressive.

is paraffin what is generally used? just seems a bit icky, no?> how about everclear?

soon I am learning from my big sister who did it proffessionally all my life, she uses a fungus liquid that is hard to find, I would practice with zambucca or gasoline, DONT SWALLOW GASOLINE! I hope that was unnecessary, the safer liquids are only used for show where injuring a bystander is a concern, all breathers practice at the beach where there is lots of water, and sand, to rinse your mouth out and put out fires. and they practice with whatever they have on hand, start with a spray bottle and a windproof lighter till you have the hang of aiming the fire and stopping the fuel supply when the fire creeps toward the nozzle I.E. your mouth. and when you're using your mouth, start with small fireballs, start so small that you have to work real hard to actually get a fireball, like a shot of liquor, once you can make a small ball of fire that is easy and controlled you move up.

gasoline? sounds a bit volatile....parrafin, or lamp oil, is generally the safest method.....
