How to Make magical handheld fireballs (that won't burn) with common household items

Don't get burned playing with fire——know how to play with it right, just like those crazy magicians do when it comes to magical fireballs that you can hold in your hand. You can juggle them, too, but you need to know the secret to making them safely.

For these magical handheld fireballs, you'll need a tee shirt that's 100% cotton, a pair of scissors, thread and needle, thimble and some lighter fluid. But you have to make sure you have the right kind of lighter fluid; It must contain gasoline ("nafta" in Spanish). Make sure to watch the video entirely to do it correctly and stay safe.

Kipkay explains that when lit, the flame above the ball can be pretty hot, but the ball surface area below that will be warm, like a hot pizza coming out of the oven, because the fuel burns at a relatively low temperature.
