When summertime arrives, we all have back yard barbecues, don’t we? Friends all gather and we fire up the grill. Well, we have a friend who could almost grill his own steak — without a charcoal grill! He is a “fire breather,” who performs at fairs, festivals, and the drop of a hat. Here is a demonstration:
Preparing The Torch
On Your Mark
Get Set
Go!
It’s true that he told me a few of the secrets about how he does this fire breathing trick, but I am not going to share them with you! I don’t want anybody who is about a half-bubble off of plumb to read this and try the trick at home. You see, this fellow told me about a time when he hiccuped right before he was going to exhale to create the flame — so he inhaled the flame with drastic consequences!
And, he is still performing the trick!! Go figure.
I’m still trying to figure out the “night” setting on my camera, so I wasn’t able to take quite the shots I wanted to take. However, these photos are entered in a photo project called Summer Stock Sunday, hosted by Around The Island. Visit Robin to find other people posting pictures representing what summer means to them.

Yikes! That looks SO cool, but I can’t imagine what would possess someone to try it in the first place! Great series, thanks for sharing it on Summer Stock.

WOW! I’m not sure I’d want him around in SUMMER — but maybe in winter… when there’s snow on the ground! LOL! No, really, that’s amazing! I have NO desire to try it at home though!

Oh my goodness!!!! That’s one of those things that looks totally cool while someone is doing it, but leaves you wondering why they ever decided to try doing that in the first place! I’ve never seen anyone do that here outside of The Renaissance Faire which is now open again for the summer!!! If I make it there this year, I’ll see if I can get a fire eater pic for ya!!
