Can I present an idea I have?
A man is lit up and keeps burning for, say, 5, 10...30...any time desired, with his clothes turning to ashes. The only good presentation idea I had: The performer comes to stage on a Harley-Davidson, clad in leather jacket and jeans. Music could be ZZ top, maybe some rock, or even some romantic tunes. A female-assistant, playing some girl, has an accident with a gasoline canister, spilling it all over the performer (yes, the trick IS safe). Then he puts a cigarette in the mouth and asks a girl a fire. Cigarette never burns up, so does the performer (no smoking advertisement:)). And he keeps burning for 10 minutes, until the fire is extinguished (maybe by some girls too). (The boy, the girl, the fire....do you get the methaphor?) Actually it could be done with no apparent clothes (in fire proof pants, of course!) or with clothes turning to ashes, leaving the skin bare (except pants. (actually they can be burnt too, but it's another story)). Do you like? |

Sure...I like it.
Not sure how you can make it safe though. Even a hollywood stuntman with all of the gels and layering and fireproof clothes can only really last for a few minutes. You would need a cooling system under the clothes, as well as a method for getting air. One breath in at the wrong time, and you bring live flames into your lungs cauterizing them, and making them incapable of absorbing oxygen. Slow suffocation is a horrible way to go. Very curious on how you plan to do it. Gwyd |

I think I saw Daffy Duck do something like this once. The audience loved it and wanted to see it again. He said that he could only do it once.

There is a gentleman in Las Vegas in the Cirque show O who does a full body burn. He also holds the world record for it as well. I do not remember his name off hand but he does a full act where he lights himself on fire and does a bunch of differnet things, ie: riding a unicycle, read a newspaper, etc.

Can imagine how many burns this cirque guy would have experienced. Seen his act on Solstrom. Now that's hot!
