Thread: Fayzah Claudia's Fire Solo-how does she do that??

couldn't find something like this on this forum so thought i should make a new thread :)

to anyone that has or has seen the bellyqueen: the bellydance experience dvd, there is a solo there that she uses fire in her dancing but it's like she just snaps her fingers and there it is and she can turn it off in the same way! maybe i'm just easily amazed/entertained but i just can't figure out or find how she does it!

anyone know?? is it even real fire??

It may be flash paper. A nifty magician's trick (that's really more of a science experiment) where you get a sudden burst of light/fire. I think I've got that DVD lying around somewhere...I'll try to look for it to see. But for now here's a video:
