What is fire eating?
Fire eating is not about consuming a flame in any literal sense. It is a set of techniques involving control, illusion and precise flame management — the performer brings Fire close to the face and mouth while protecting the body at all times. Because the flame operates so close to sensitive areas, structured fire eating training under professional supervision is essential before attempting any technique.
