Take a regular Bic lighter. Make a loose fist with your 'off' hand. Insert the top of the lighter into the space between your thumb and curled up fingers. Depress the tab to cause the lighter fluid vapors to go into your hand.

Quickly flick the wheel of the lighter, and pop your hand open. FLARE!

Practice makes perfect!

LOL, I taught this to the 5 year olds I used to baby sit as a bored teen...]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/46749/1/rss0_91.rss#q20
It's a bummer my father hid all the matches and lighters from me, hmm.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/46749/1/rss0_91.rss#q19

Next time I get myself some parrafin I'll make a video and post it.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/46749/1/rss0_91.rss#q16« Kevertje : It's because the lighter fluid doesn't burn. It evaporates and the vapors burn. When I was younger we used to squirt some lighter fluid in our hand and light that. It would just warm your hand, but you wouldn't cause any burns.Haha - beat me to it.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/46749/1/rss0_91.rss#q15« TraumaMamma : I fail to see how the cotton does not burn and turn to ash. Or the string.

I must ask my firefighter commrades this.It's because the fire is using the most readily available fuel - the lighter fluid.

In my more reckless days, we used to cover our hands in lighter fluid and set them on fire. It burns fairly cool till the lighter fluid burns off. Then it gets hot REAL quick.

Ahhh youth. I'm surprised I survived it sometimes.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/46749/1/rss0_91.rss#q14« TraumaMamma : I fail to see how the cotton does not burn and turn to ash. Or the string.
