Ok last saturday I had a performance, I was payed for fire poi, and asked to do fire breathing, and I did some fire eating. This is about the breathing part. I think some others thought it was a trick of mine but I was holding my torch after taking in a deep breath, I held it stil above me and a little before I spit, the torch just went poof! It went out! It was at full flame size and just poofed out without being moved o0 I then inserted it back into a fire to relight it and it wasn't even flickering. I was telling my friend that I'm having some troubles and I go back to see if I ca light it and it just lights up like normal and I continue.
Can someone please explain what the
happened because I'm a curious little bugger that wants answers to end the pain of not knowing!

Well you figure they pay for it because of the danger factor involved. Also the traditional method would give much bigger flames. I just trust the kerosene will not light on my skin and I have dunked my hand in kero and put it over a lighter to show before. Besides, there's a certain thing about slowly overcoming that old fear of fire that came from having my face on fire from Colemans that just makes me feel better inside
