How to make Handheld Fireballs ???

          All fire is not created equal! If you apply a little chemistry know-how, you can make a fireball cool enough to hold in your hand. See how it's done, then try this simple fire project yourself.

You Will Need :

• Cotton or wool
• Naphtha or Kerosene

Process :

          These handheld fireballs are extremely easy to make, but you need a special flame to avoid getting burned. The fireball must be made out of a material that won't catch on fire at low temperatures. Cotton or wool work best, like a piece of old cotton t-shirt. You also need a fuel that produces a flame that will be cool enough to touch. You can use naphtha, which is a common lighter fluid or you can use kerosene.

         Make your fireball by rolling a 2 inch by 6 inch strip of fabric into a tight ball. Secure the ball with cotton thread. Apply the fuel to the fireball, light it, and that's it! Just blow the fireball out when you are finished and use it again and again.

         You may be wondering how to handle the fireball without getting burned. The hottest part of the fireball is above the flame, so it is easiest to set the fireball on your hand to light it or else to light the fireball on a fireproof surface and then pick it up. Remember, this is fire, so treat it with respect. Keep the fireball away from its fuel and any other flammable materials and be sure the flame is completely extinguished when you are finished.
