Kung Fu
master Liu Fei, from Mianyang, South-West China,
can exhale smoke and fire from his mouth, sort of
like a dragon. And I’m not talking about the kind of
fire breathing performances you get to see at the
circus, either; this man seems to be able to
produce fire from within his body, exhaling it
through his sawdust-packed mouth.
The viral video of Fei’s performance and is really
quite mind-blowing. He starts off by stuffing large
quantities of sawdust in his mouth. Then, he
makes a hole into the sawdust, with his finger, and
starts to blow out small puffs of smoke through
the dust.
Later, he uses a fan to blow air into his ear and
even more smoke comes out of his mouth. The
performance culminates with actual flames coming
out of his mouth, which get bigger and and more
frequent towards the end. The whole thing seems
miraculous, but after watching the video, some
forum users came up with a few plausible
explanations.
“There’s probably a hot ember in the sawdust he
packed in his mouth,” wrote a self-confessed
pyromaniac. “When he exhales, the ember starts to
consume the surrounding sawdust with the oxygen
provided. He maintains the fire controlling the
oxygen supply. If it’s out of control, he smothers it
with compressed sawdust.” Others suspected that
the sawdust was so highly flammable that he could
probably set fire to it very easily. After doing a bit
of online research, it seems reporters have
watched Liu performing the feat in front of their
eyes, and confirmed he uses nothing to light the
sawdust.
“The chances are the sawdust is in fact lycopodium
powder,” wrote another person. “The bowl most
likely has buried in it a hidden mouth guard and
when he stuffs his mouth with powder. In the
mouth piece is hidden a capsule of potassium
permanganate and glycerin, this ignites after 20
-30 seconds starting a reaction with the
lycopodium, and the fan adds oxygen to the
powder, the flame created at the end shows better
combustion of the fuel.”
Well, whatever the explanation, it sure is a cool
trick to watch.
