Torches and Firebreathing

Step 5 Practice spraying water from your mouth

You can do this step either with the torch light outdoors, or you could just practice in the shower. I prefer doing this while holding the light torch because it gives you more of a feel for what you will really have to do. Get a bottle of water put about a tablespoon of it in your mouth and practice spraying over the torch with it.
Your goal is not to get a stream of water coming from your mouth but a constant spray. To do this press your lips together, inhale a big breath of air through your nose, and with all the force you have exhale the air into your mouth where it will force the water through your pressed lips, this should result in a fine spray. It will take a bunch of tries to perfect it but eventually you will get it just right, and when that happens you are ready to try it with the real stuff.

Instead of using kerosene, can you use some sort of alcohol?

doesnt the kerosein mess up your mouth

with repetition it can. it can erode tooth enamel. your mouth and throat is made of mucus membrane, which absorbs various substances pretty well. you can develop some mouth and throat irritation from the kerosene. I know circus performers that do it 3 to 4 times a week and don't have lasting issues. I think you would have to do it every day for a good while before you would have problems. DON'T SWALLOW IT!!! if you swallow any you need to call poison control.

the way I learned was to practice in front of a bathroom mirror. From about 3 feet away, take some water in your mouth and blow towards the mirror. You want a fine mist on the mirror, with no big droplets that run down the mirror. Keep practicing until the mirror is covered with tiny little drops, and no big drops or streaks in there.

How long did you practice with water before moving to fuel?
