Hey guys,
I have been really intrigued with fire eating for a while now. I've been thinking that I might try learning it this summer. However, I do have some MAJOR questions before I even think about learning it.
First off, is it worth it? The reason I want to learn it the most right now is that I think it might be a cool way to draw a crowd when performing, maybe as an opening routine.
Next, how should I go about learning it? I'm assuming I should pick up "The Professional's Guide to Fire Eating" by Brian Brushwood. What other books do you recommend? I also heard a few people say "learn from a professional". How would I go about finding one?
Thirdly, is the smoke actually inhaled? I know that you can't breath in the flame because it'll get into your lungs or something, but is there smoke inhaled? Can it cause lung problems?
Anything else you guys wanna add, go right ahead. This is completely uncharted territory for me.
