Fire-eaters are entertainers who extinguish flaming objects and transfer flames using their mouths and other body parts.

Extinguishing tricks are the traditional hallmark of fire-eating, and performers often use their mouths to snuff out 1, 2, or even 3 flaming torches. What is the “secret” to fire-eating? Discuss
