Hey guys, Raptor here with a fun yet slightly dangerous How To video.

Now a lot of us love the idea of having "powers" or being a superhero in general right? I think it would be cool to be able to actually hold fire without burning yourself. So I did some looking around, and I found a way on how to do so.

(These are my own words)

First off, here's what you need:

1. A lighter
2. 100% cotton shirt/cloth
3. Scissors
4. String (preferably thread)
5. Needle (for use with threa)

Last you need... Zippo lighter fluid

Zippo is a brand of lighter fluid that is actually weaker than most other brands. If you don't have Zippo, you can use normal lighter fluid, but it is recommended that you dilute it some with water.

Now that you know what you'll need, it's time to get started on how to actually create it.

To begin, grab your 100% cotton and roll it into a ball. It shouldn't be much larger than a quarter, also make it tight.

(You should had cut it out before this with the scissors.)

Next, tie it with the needle and thread. You don't need to completely cover it, just tie it around enough so that it won't become loose.

Now you have the ball part done. For this next part I suggest you are VERY careful. Put the ball on a plate. (not a bowl)

Slowly cover the ball with your lighter fluid, don't drench it, try not to make it drippy. And DO NOT get it on your hands.

Once it's covered light it, but make sure before you do that you are outside and away from anything that could catch by accident. Also, try to make sure it's on a different plate. (That way any lighter fluid that missed the ball won't catch as well.)

Now once it's on fire, pick it up from the bottom. It shouldn't burn you. Put it on your hands and roll it around, even toss it from hand to hand. You are now holding a fireball.

As long as it is constantly on the move it won't burn you, don't be stupid and hold your hands above the flame this will burn you. Hold it from below and roll it around, and you should be fine.

I've already givven it a try, it's very fun if you get the hang of it. I haven't been burned yet.

PS: I was able to trick my friends into thinking I could firebend. My parents thought I finally lost my mind, this makes a FANTASTIC prank, just be careful.
