Breathing fire with a butane cigarette lighter is a fun party trick that will liven up a crowd and draw attention to yourself. Surprisingly, blowing a ball of flaming butane out of your mouth is not as dangerous as it sounds, but looks very cool.
Instructions
Serious Dragon Breath
1. Hold the lighter to your mouth and wrap your lips around the top, making an air-tight seal. Be sure to leave room for your finger to hold down the gas-release button.
2. Allow your cheek cavity to fill up with gas. Do not swallow or inhale while the lighter is at your mouth. If you must breathe, use your nose but don't let your esophagus open. If your lighter produces a one-inch flame it shouldn't be at your mouth for more than ten seconds.
3. Take the lighter out of your mouth and close your lips so no gas escapes.
4. Within five seconds of the time the lighter leaves your mouth, light it as close to your face as possible without burning your hair (about four inches or the width of a clenched fist).
5. Purse your lips into a circle and blow quickly and gently, as if showing somebody blow out a birthday candle without extinguishing the flame.
6. When you see the flame, close your lips so it doesn't get into your mouth. If it does get to your mouth, don't worry, your saliva will prevent the butane from burning anything.
