Fire eaters are performers who create the illusion of consuming fire. They use special techniques to manipulate flames, often involving the use of fuel, such as kerosene or lamp oil, which burns at a lower temperature. By carefully controlling the flame and their breath, they can create stunning visual effects without causing harm to themselves. These performers often incorporate other skills, such as fire breathing and fire juggling, into their acts. Fire eating has a long history in various cultures, often associated with circus performances and street entertainment. Safety precautions are essential, as the act involves inherent risks due to the nature of fire.
