fire breathing
Fire breathing is a performance art where a performer creates a controlled jet of fuel, typically an edible liquid like paraffin or high-proof alcohol, and then ignites it to produce a dramatic flame. The performer carefully blows a fine mist of fuel from their mouth toward an open flame source, creating a large, spectacular fireball. Safety precautions and training are essential, as improper technique or reckless behavior can lead to serious burns or injuries. The act relies on precise timing, proper fuel choice, and understanding of wind and environmental factors to ensure it remains controlled and safe.
