Fire Breathing is a combination of confidence, technique and paying attention to safety. Safety comes first of course, so when you we will teach you all the necessary techniques to safely breath fire. Next to the safety aspects you need to learn the proper techniques. When you start the workshop you will learn all the measures that need to be taken to breath fire in a safe way. Fire breathing requires a special spraying technique with your lips. It is not hard to learn, but it is important that you know how to do it. So at the beginning of the workshop you will be practising with water! When you have mastered the proper techniques and the professional fire breather trusts it as well we will start with the real deal… With special non-toxic oil you will breathe your first flames in to the air, a moment that you will never forget! To make the day complete you will be given a demonstration from your professional fire breather at the end of the workshop! FAQS Does it hurt? Can It Burn? NO it shouldn’t hurt, if it does you are doing it incorrectly, or you are working in the wrong conditions. YES, fire can and does burn if you don't wield it properly. It takes a few seconds to do "burn damage" so as long as fire or you keeps moving you shouldn't get burnt. The biggest risk is actually fuel or flame inhalation. Be sure to listen to the instructor, the skills are dangerous!! Can I come to your experience as a total beginner? YES, we cater for all. We have a lot of experience with beginners. Can I teach my friends? NO, we have a strict policy on not passing the skills on to others. It took us decades to build up the experience and knowledge we feel is necessary to be able to teach these skills. 1 lesson with us is not enough knowledge to pass on to others, Please send anyone you know who is interested in learning back to us. Is it bad for me/my health? YES is the short answer, the fuel and soot are carcinogenic, long term exposure to fumes and fuels can affect your health in the long term. But you can help your health by eating foods high in anti oxidants and drinking lots of water. Do you supply the equipment? YES, we supply all the equipment, fuel and safety devices. Do you put anything on your skin or in your mouth to stop you from burning? NO, there are no tricks or cheats, you will be learning skills. Like how to control and manipulate the fire safely, without burning yourself. I have a beard do I need to shave? sort of - beards are fine, you may want to trim the top lip line of a moustache though. Can I perform for my friends? NO Terms and Conditions!
