What Is Fire Eating?

Fire eating is not about “eating” the flame in a literal sense.
It is a set of techniques of control, illusion and flame management, where the performer manipulates the Fire close to the face and mouth while protecting the body at all times.

Because the flame is so close to sensitive areas, risk management and protocol are absolutely crucial.
This is why structured, professional Fire eating training is highly recommended before attempting any trick.
