This is an simple and relatively safe method of firebreathing that can be learned and perfected in under an hour.
My other instructable on firebreathing is different in a few ways.
-First, and most noticeably, the method used in my original Instructable yields much more impressive results. Many of the fireballs achieved using the original method were 10+ feet long. Most of the fireballs created in this project average around two or three feet.
-The other, less noticeable difference, is in safety. If you screwed up using the original method, everyone you've ever loved or cared about would die a horrible painful death. Whereas using this method you are only putting yourself at risk.
-The materials are also much easier to come by than the things used in the original project. There are only two things needed, both of which can be picked up at your local bodegs.
Without further ado, here are 23 fireballs in 10.5 seconds.

No, seriously, ditto. I was performing at a graduation party about a week ago and afterward, someone came up to the stage to say that they were going to learn how to breathe fire, and they were going to do it online, and I could not stop them. *eyeroll*
There's nothing wrong with wanting to learn how to breathe or eat fire, but find an actual teacher. Don't think text instruction is good enough; even a teeny tiny mistake and maim or kill you.

I think burners and fire tribes know what they're doing...it's their lives. I know families that make their living breathing, eating, and spinning fire. Don't hate.
my dad done this when he was younger
end result: singed eyebrows humans dont suit no eyebrows
instead try this:

Neurotoxic Effects from Butane GasSome inhalants change cardiac physiology and increase the risk for cardiac failure. For example,butane (from cigarette lighters), freon (from aerosol propellants) and toluene (from glues) hypersensitize cardiac cells to norepinephrine, the neurotransmitter that stimulates cardiac contractions. Inhalants interfere with the transport of oxygen by interfering with the binding or release of oxygen by red blood cells. The resulting hypoxia also causes cardiac cell hypersensitivity to norepinephrine. Norepinephrine sensitivity and hypoxia can cause cardiac muscles to defibrillate or begin contracting randomly. A syndrome called Sudden Sniffing Death (SSD) occurs without warning, and discontinuation of breathing the inhalant does not reverse the sequence of events. Victims of SSD often appear to sense that something is wrong, and run away from the source or site where they were inhaling, before collapsing and dying.
Neurotoxic Effects
Permanent cerebral and cerebellar neurological disability is the most well known toxic effect of chronic inhalant abuse. Long-term abusers are at significant risk for a neurological syndrome consisting of memory loss, cognitive impairment, sleep disturbance, depression, anxiety, and personality changes. Permanent cognitive disorders are also well described in patients who chronically sniff gasoline. Long term occupational chemical exposure (e.g., painters) may result in the development of cerebral atrophy and abnormal EEGs.
