Kung fu master Liu Fei from Mianyang, southwestern China, can breathe smoke and fire from his mouth like a dragon. At the same time, he does it in a completely different way than fakirs in a circus. Looking at the man, it seems that the fire that he exhales through his mouth full of sawdust appears inside his body.
A video of Fei's performance posted online went viral very quickly. The video begins with the fact that Fay stuffs a huge amount of sawdust into his mouth, after which he makes a hole in them with his finger, through which he begins to blow out clouds of smoke.
Then he takes a fan and directs it into his ear, as a result of which the smoke from the man's mouth begins to pour more actively. The show ends with spewing of flame, which towards the end becomes more and more frequent.
It all seems like a miracle, but after watching the video, some Internet users have come up with several plausible explanations.
“A hot coal was hidden in the sawdust that the man put in his mouth,” writes one skeptic. - When he exhales, the ember flares up and ignites the surrounding sawdust. If the fire flares up too much, it closes the mouth, shutting off the oxygen supply, without which the combustion process is impossible."
Others suspected that special, flammable sawdust was used for the performance. After many comments from skeptics and the incredible popularity of the video, the Chinese media decided to check Liu Fei. Journalists, in front of whom the man repeated the number, stated that he did not use anything to ignite sawdust.
