Brian Brushwood has mastered the art of book-writing as powerfully as his art of fire eating. This book teaches you everything you need to know about how to SAFELY eat fire and perform dozens of other tricks. It even tells you things you didn't know you didn't know. I bought the book to learn to eat fire for a part in a play and now it has become a hobby. People are always asking me to demonstrate because they just can't believe it's real. Well it is. The book shows step-by-step how to build torches, get used to the flames, and how to put it in your mouth without getting burned. It took me less than two weeks to be comfortable enough to show off my new skill. The author has included some very powerful safety information including MSDSs for the various fuels you can use.

Very good book for a beginner or experienced show-off! Highly recommended. Also, if you MUST learn to eat fire without personal instruction, you should consider purchasing the video also.

Well, you won't get burned in the figurative sense. This is a fantastic book that covers a wide spectrum of fire eating. Brian has been at this for a long time and is easily able to convey his expertise to the reader. I reccomend this book for anyone interested in learning the craft or as a supplementary resource for those already eating the stuff.

I'm a professional clown/entertainer and have been playing with fire for some time. This book is a must have for anyone in the fire business. Good information for beginner and professional alike.

While you should seek a mentor to learn the fire arts; it simply isn't possible to do all the time. This book has alot of information. Well worth the price paid.

This book is the greatest source of hard-to-find information I've ever encountered. Writing a book about a topic clouded in such mystery takes a good writer and a great performer.

Two hours after I got this book I had performed all but two of the tricks in it, and without harm. Fire eating is still extremely dangerous, but this book guides you through the safest path of becoming a fire eater.

This is a spectacular book. The price tag held me off on purchasing it for a few weeks while I tried to justify the 40 bucks or so on a book for a hobby, but once I received it, it was obvious why it's not the average Amazon paperback price, this thing is a text book. Not only is it about the size of my human anthropology book from college, but it's actually written in a readable way. If you are looking for a solid book on the topic, I have searched and this is really your only option; fortunately, it's a great option and worth every penny. Couldn't recommend it more highly.

I was never a big fan of fire eating until I saw Brian Brushwood do it on TWiT. Now I bought his book "Professionals Guide to Fire Eating" and I must say I'm hooked. It's very informative. Thanks Shwood! (I almost like it as much as "Black Water" by The Doobie Brothers.)

This book has all the information you need. The good, The bad and the Ugly

This "THE" book on fire eating.
It doesn't get any better than this.
But as a fire eater, I do not recommend eating fire.

This book is the ultimate on the current way to work with fire eating SAFELY.
If your going to try this dangerous activity, you would be absolutely foolish not to read this first! (As opposed to being just foolish to try messing with fire.)
A great book for the beginner or experienced entertainer.I highly recommended it. Brian also has a partner video to complment this book.
