The coolest thing ever is to buy some cheap cologne and spray it into a flame.

I've done that millions of times. Old spice burns the clearest, but tag is much more flammable. :-)

Nice. I remember A while back I bought a 100 pack of book matches at a discount store, poured lighter fluid on it, dumped bug spray on, lit it and ran like crazy. It made like orange-blue fire and gigantic whoosh

Instead of wasting 50 matchbooks, buy a real flare that will last longer, and that is windproof. :P

You should experiment with KNO3 smoke bombs. They're also cheap.
