Fire with Flour!

I do not claim responsibility if someone is harmed because of this instructable. Be safe, and be smart.

I know you are probably thinking "What? Flour isn't flammable!", but it is. I am not a scientist, but what I do know is that flour is flammable when suspended in the air i.e. when you throw a handful of flour at a fire. It is relatively safe as far as I know, and it's pretty fun.

Step 1 Materials

There are very few things you need for this, they are:

-Matches/lighter
-Flour (I used self-raising, I haven't tried with others so I recommend it)
- Flame source (campfire, fire starter, etc.)

Another common powder that is flammable when aerosolized is corn starch; here's a shot of a fireball blown with corn starch:

Ok, how did you do that with the corn starch?

Nice picture! I wouldn't try the whole fire breathing thing with it, but it certainly looks impressive!
