Ok, this one is awesome if you can stay as insanely brave as the day you ordered it online. There are step by step instructions with pictures for each...even a few performance and safety tips that read as cautionary tales.

As for me, I couldn't get past the first trick.

MATCH ON TONGUE
How it looks: You put out a burning match on your tongue, complete with dramatic "sizzle."

I just repeatedly struck matches and stared at them...heck, the heat was enough to freak me out.

Awesome book for reading about fire eating and other fire trickery. Great safety lessons that were very thoroughly even for a well seasoned fire performer like myself. For someone just getting into this sort of performing though, I recommend you be watched by someone else who has done this sort of performing before to show you what you are doing wrong and make you feel more comfortable in your abilities to do things properly. Remember, safety is number one.
