Brian, the pic in your avatar looks like you eat fire too.
Can we get a video of how that works?
I was in Picadilly Circus a couple of years ago, and this guy was busking (street performer) and did a great juggling act, followed by fire eating. It was impressive. The crowd stood around dumbfounded and silent. He kept going until we started to applaud and cheer. Its not like we weren't impressed sooner, but he left us speechless. Wish I'd caught it on video.
Anyway, curious about how you do it - and if there are stupid bar tricks involving flaming shots that build on the principle.

Yeah, I actually (literally) wrote the book on fire eating:

Here's the Amazon link. (http://www.amazon.com/Professionals-Guide-Fire-Eating/dp/0971364605/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207667488&sr=8-1)
I think we'll teach a few parts from the fire eating book...
In fact, here's a collection of bits I put together when I was setting up my appearance on "Paulas Party" on the food network (starts off with human chimney):

As long as this (http://revision3.com/lilsuperstar/2008-04-04fire/) doesn't happen.

Ok, I was totally sitting here pretending to pay attention to a meeting and that blew my cover when I bursted out laughing during a discussion of landed cost drivers.
