At the fundraiser dinner, Penn Jillette, one half of the magic duo Penn & Teller, is seen doing a fire-eating act. This is not a trick of the camera or special effect. Penn often performs this feat on stage, explaining to the audience exactly how it is accomplished.
"It's not the cotton [torch] that burns, it's the fuel that burns...You've got moisture in your mouth, and all that moisture has to evaporate from any given part of your mouth, before that part will burn...When you feel your mouth drying out, you close your lips tightly. That cuts out most of the oxygen and [he snaps his fingers] the fire goes out. Now when I was being taught this, I got burned every time I tried it, and I still get burned occasionally, but the burns you get from fire-eating are for the most part extremely minor. They're the kind of burns you get when you eat a pizza too fast, and that cheese'll snag you, or you gulp some hot coffee."
