   That looks amazing! I would try it myself if I wasn’t so freaked out by burning myself.

   I’ll get my brother to do it though.

   >:D

   Okay, how does it not burn your hands? If I recall correctly, it was blue flames that were hotter than red… someone care to explain?

   *confused*

   no no no… its the green flame thats hottest. the purple flame can actually freeze water and the plaid flame can dial your phone.

   Blue flame is closest to the source, and on top, its the hottest, with heat rising from the source, and on bottom, its not getting far enough away to change color. Blue is usually the hottest, but alcohol and lighter fluid tend to burn blue naturally, as well as burn lower temps.

   Not a scientist, BYW, that’s just my guess.

   Might put a rather amusing twist on this sort of thing:

   What’s with the porn music? Does it have something to do with the pair of balls he keeps playing with?

   I’ve read elsewhere that this is indeed a hoax and you will get burned. So be careful now!

    haha levi that was pretty funny. it seems real enough to me, when I saw the beginning of the video I assumed it was ethanol as it burns relatively cool, and really you’re only touching the underside of the ball.

    I don’t think its a hoax. I’ve covered my hand in alcohol, and lit it aflame, and it didn’t burn me. It burns cool, and if you keep moving it around, I’d say its totally safe.

    If that was a hoax, then the maker deserved a prize for creating an amazing illusion. I watched the video again - the way the fire danced on his hand is too good to be a CG effect.

    I made one. It works. But the dude in the video must have very calloused hands, because it burned like a mother.

    i made one and daym!!! it was so cool it didnt burn it was just warm. i did make a mistake of not using cotton string, and that hurt a bit cuz it melted in my hand but not that painful as most people think ^__^
