Fun fact: flour mills have been exploding for centuries due to this phenomenon. It's called a dust explosion. You should even be able to use powdered coffee creamer for this if you find that more palatable.
I remember a kid at camp saying he heard we could blow hot chocolate into the campfire and it would ignite... so about 12 or so of use all got together and filled our mouths with hot chocolate mix, got in a ring around the fire and we all blew it out at once. OMG it made a ignition into a mushroom cloud that rolled up into the air. It was cool.
Guys! If you are wanting to do this with a lighter, please use the grill lighters, the ones with the really long noses. Otherwise you will torch your finger.
I use Corn Starch and Powder Sugar for my fire blasts. I can usually get 3 good blasts from a mouthful. I have been able to get blasts of about 5 feet long and 2 feet wide from this. the only downside is that it is very messy and you will go through a lot of water to get the remaining corn starch out of your moouth. But it does work very good.
So Brian I've been watching you videos for a few days, my family is interested in a few of the magic tricks I've learned from you; thanks for doing this show, its by far the best out there!!
I've been using corn starch for a year😂 so I can show slightly younger people how to do it with much less risks. and not putting anything damaging in their bodies.
HeyBrian I remember many many years ago im my chemistry class that just about any thing will burn if it is ground up into a fine powder. We tested this with magnesium powder. As I recall it was a pretty green colored fire ball and that other metals have different colors. That is why fireworks are so colorful. Im not sure that a mouthful of powdered metal would be much better that corn starch tho. Love the show. Keep em comming. Al
This is how I learned fire breathing, really the thing to be aware of is to really research everything possible before trying it, I haven't heard of someone using cornstarch and having it travel back along the mist and catching them on fire but there's always a chance of that happening when you do this trick, so if you are wanting to try it please do plenty of reading up on it, practice the spray until its perfect, and have someone nearby to put you out if the worst would happen. Be safe!
wow, you achually replyed awsome, i have been watching your fire eating videos, what do you use for it, i used parafin, and that just makes me and my team feel sick
This is really late and you have probably already tried this but coffee creamer does work, not as well as cornstarch because it absorbs more water in your mouth but it does taste a lot better than cornstarch so there are pros and cons.
There is a danish saying (I don't know if you also have it abroad) about the impossibility of blowing and having flour in your mouth at the same time. It is usually used about when you try to do two things that are incompatible at the same time and end up having to choose between the two.
So, I've seen two safe and cheap/easy to obtain fuels now on this channel. Corn Starch and Non-Dairy coffee creamer. Which one is better for fire balls, or are they both good for this type of trick?
Cornstarch wont effect your skin on its own, if the trick would mess up there is always danger of actually catching yourself on fire, with other fuels it can travel back along the stream of fuel and catch your skin on fire (I havent heard of this happening with cornstarch but there is always a chance) so no, cornstarch is fine for your skin but if you are thinking of trying this trick please do lots of research first and be safe!
+Scam School Can I combine this with the coffee creamer video to create a less sensitive version? Plus there is a higher likely chance there will be coffee creamer when I need it, than corn starch.
This is actually incredibly fun to do. It makes an awesome roaring sound when the vapour ignites, which scared the shit out of me the first time I tried it... now I just feel like a dragon XD
Hey Brian I know this is an old video but have you ever tried coffee creamer works pretty good . aaaand of course there is still lycopodium which is a pretty safe way for anyone to start out
but be sure to practice with coffee creamer first because it is more volatile at least the ones that i used were . hope you catch this and try it out ... greetings from germany
just as an FYI to those looking for "safer" fuels for blowing fire and i have found that if you have the method down veggie oil or mineral oil can be used for this if one was say looking for something that will never catch if a flame hits the container for whatever reason.
"Theoretically there should be no wind, but I know a lot of people don't have access." lol. That's a wee bit funny isn't it? Like, access to no wind ever?? :p
i know he wrote the book.... that's what i typed. And notice i put in my comment, "depending on the type of fire extinguisher," meaning it can be harmful depending on which type he uses. But it's still more safe to use a fire blanket than a fire extinguisher on a human.
Hi Brian, You said you can do (traditional style) fire breathing with anything but toxic fuel.. Have you ever tried PureFire bio lamp oil? It supposedly has the same qualities as lamp oil (which I use for fire breathing) except that it is vegetable based. They claim you can even drink it! Just wondering if you had any experience with it. Corn starch looks fun, I'll probably try it out (I know you told us not to, sorry ;) ) but getting your mouth full of white goo seems not so nice for performances... Oh well, health above aesthetics of course!
I'm not about to try this myself, but considering the episode a while back on the non-dairy creamer, did it occur to anyone else that it might work just as well, if not better?
you can actually blow the cornstarch down toward your feet, and it will burn up very cool, only negative effect is singing of hair, you can also have people sit down and blow it over top of people, I'm not responsible for any injury tho
power tips... coffee creamer flames a little better then corn starch. We used to do this using 2 single serving packages at a time. Baking flour works really well also... aka. Panahasi Take care bud!
Really interesting episode this time, an Brian I didn't know you wrote a book. Also anyone who has done the cinnamon challenge can puff it correctly haha and one last thing, you shouldn't use a fire extinguisher on people, it can actually do more harm depending on the type off fire extinguisher. You should use a fire blanket instead
Scam School Please do more fire tricks! Also, if you want something that doesn't taste like cornstarch, try coffee creamer! I've done this one before, I think, and definitely know it does that when atomized, but it tastes like horribly concentrated French Vanilla, but at least it's not starch.

my famous last words are probably going to be,"DON'T WORRY I SAW THIS ON TH-cam!"

Why not both?
Well I didn't use my eye brows anyway

"Not encouraging anyone to do it at home" titles video how to lol

good point!
got scared when those pretend pop-ups appeared on the video during the ad, thought that it was real! lol
During the Carbonite ad i thought it was my computer that was screwing up lol
hah!
That's what I thought

"That's a Yoga Flame right there!" XD
Brian, you thanking the sponsors is just as good as watching the rest of the video :)
Cornstarch and water = Oobleck: Cornstarch and fire = awesome
I've seen baby cereal and powdered creamer work but the guys who got wild at our houses used 151 on the fly.
So Brian I've been watching you videos for a few days, my family is interested in a few of the magic tricks I've learned from you; thanks for doing this show, its by far the best out there!!
thanks!
+Scam School thanks to you too
You showed in a previous episode how well coffee creamer combusted when atomized (and didn't burn when it wasn't). Why didn't you use that instead?
I've been using corn starch for a year😂 so I can show slightly younger people how to do it with much less risks. and not putting anything damaging in their bodies.
Great episode Brian!
Quite possibly my favourite introductions to one of your videos sir!
I'm honestly dying 🤣 when Brian laughs with his coated tongue omg

I thought viruses popped up on my computer for a second haha
avatar so appropriate
You are stupid :D
Bijela99 what's stupid? ;)
Entropi Nothing just kidding ;)
Bijela99 haha i know, but i was implying i didnt know what stupid meant
I use vegetable oil! Which is not toxic and does not taste bad! Just warm it in the microwave first to thin it out!
As soon as I watched this my dumb ass goes out side and try's this
Well you couldn't even spell 'tries' correctly, so we can spare you anyway XD
braydon hoglund mom gave me 3 major birth defects from smoking cleft lip hurnia bad vision dont give ur kid a terrible life because u want t smoke
Every time he says not to do it home I have a little voice in my head screaming "wtf do it now!!!"
I do also but I have multiple voices saying worse ways to do it

Awesome page man!!
your seriously amazing, i have only recently found your videos again, when i first started working for circuses doing fire, you were inspiring.
thanks so much!
wow, you achually replyed awsome, i have been watching your fire eating videos, what do you use for it, i used parafin, and that just makes me and my team feel sick
What about non-dairy coffee creamer? Hmmmm....
This is really late and you have probably already tried this but coffee creamer does work, not as well as cornstarch because it absorbs more water in your mouth but it does taste a lot better than cornstarch so there are pros and cons.
bought the book man... nice.
When ever i see Brian do a new sponsor add or something similar i always watch it.
4:57 ı wasn'T paying attention to what he said and made me shit my pants for a second

It is usually used about when you try to do two things that are incompatible at the same time and end up having to choose between the two.
"Uh, I'll just have some cornstarch"...Classic!!!
That Carbonite backup sounds like paying for Big-Brother to have access and look at everything you upload electronically lmao
This would work with any fine powder. (Corn starch, flour, powdered sugar, coffie creamer, etc.)
says don't try at home. . . the idiot in me says. . . maybe
This is why scam school is awesome
Watching this backwards, the preview in this one is hilarious
"It's Graduation Time" (Episode 257)
"Today we will have Midterms" (Episode 300)
Cornstarch, whopee cushion, pants, campfire. I AM THERE !
So, I've seen two safe and cheap/easy to obtain fuels now on this channel. Corn Starch and Non-Dairy coffee creamer. Which one is better for fire balls, or are they both good for this type of trick?
That is awesome !
This is one epic video!
that laugh is the funniest laugh ive every heard 9:44

IM SWIMMING IN THE COCAINE
-Brain brushwood
When Brian first put the powder in his mouth, that resulting scene had me in tears.
brian, do you know any fire tricks that you have not posted on scam school??????
i love fire magic!!!!!!!!!!!
This is actually incredibly fun to do. It makes an awesome roaring sound when the vapour ignites, which scared the shit out of me the first time I tried it... now I just feel like a dragon XD
Hey Brian, have you tried using liquid cornstarch?
I am so going to try that!!!
dude nice that's my favorite show
winner! I definitely need to try this asap!!! thanks for sharing.... :@)
Hey Brian I know this is an old video but have you ever tried coffee creamer works pretty good . aaaand of course there is still lycopodium which is a pretty safe way for anyone to start out

This guy was banging lines of coke forshure
shaun feldman have too
i tried in school and did it brushwood
Screw u for the warning
I ALWAYS DO THIS STUFF I JUST LOVE FIRE SO MUCH
just as an FYI to those looking for "safer" fuels for blowing fire and i have found that if you have the method down veggie oil or mineral oil can be used for this if one was say looking for something that will never catch if a flame hits the container for whatever reason.
i was in full screen 4:52 this scared the shit out of me XD XD
"Theoretically there should be no wind, but I know a lot of people don't have access." lol. That's a wee bit funny isn't it? Like, access to no wind ever?? :p
I recommend powdered non dairy creamer is doesn't become a non Newtonian fluid when wet
I tried this before with flour or lycopodium powder I didn't know that you could use cornstarch. Well I guess it works with most fine powders.
Can't get the book yet gonna try it at home anyway
ur videos are awesome!
Can you teach me or tell me what I need in order to make my own torch for holding and eating fire
any things to be aware of when trying the corn starch version?
when you said dont do this without the book it reminded me that i wanted to buy it. where can i find it? plz help
oh and btw i meant the other one thats not fire eating just the original one. i saw it a while ago and i dont remember what it was
i know he wrote the book.... that's what i typed. And notice i put in my comment, "depending on the type of fire extinguisher," meaning it can be harmful depending on which type he uses. But it's still more safe to use a fire blanket than a fire extinguisher on a human.
though i completely believe you. pointing out your badassery is super douchy
Gonna try dis
Hi Brian,

Have you ever tried PureFire bio lamp oil? It supposedly has the same qualities as lamp oil (which I use for fire breathing) except that it is vegetable based. They claim you can even drink it!
Just wondering if you had any experience with it.

I blew a 5 foot flame by using 2 table spoons of cornstarch and water
Epic trick doing
power tips... coffee creamer flames a little better then corn starch. We used to do this using 2 single serving packages at a time.
Baking flour works really well also...
aka. Panahasi Take care bud!
that was the best thing ever!!!
I'm trying this at home!!!
Ever think about using nondairy creamer as an alliterative fuel source?
have u tried the coffee creamer
i can't stop laughing at 9:42!!!!
Great balls of fire !!
Still gonna try it
Would this be more effective/tasty with coffee creamer?
Would it work with the coffee creamer??
9:45 I see new dank meme coming xD
Really interesting episode this time, an Brian I didn't know you wrote a book. Also anyone who has done the cinnamon challenge can puff it correctly haha and one last thing, you shouldn't use a fire extinguisher on people, it can actually do more harm depending on the type off fire extinguisher.

Micah Philson Also, at the end there you looked like Scarface at the office Christmas party.
Wow, great title.
will brandy burn? i have a lots of brandy and i think i can use it, and it's not toxic anyway
