We can definitely file this video under ‘WTF?’. In the video a Kung Fu master stuffs his mouth full of what looks to be saw dust and then through some sort of magic is able to set it on fire!

This is definitely something you should not try at home. It seems like it could definitely be a choking hazard and obviously setting something that is in your mouth on fire is not a good idea.

As the video starts, we see the Kung Fu master begin to stuff his mouth with sawdust. Not a little sawdust, but a lot. So much so that is seems his entire mouth is full of saw dust and it’s packed in so much it is coming out of his mouth. It seems as though having it densely packed and completely filling his mouth is required for the trick.

At this point the Kung Fu master starts to do some martial arts forms and you can a hole in the center of his mouth where there is no sawdust. He also seems to be breathing a certain way and smoke starts to come through the whole in the center of this mouth.

The amount of smoke is startling and would indicate the start of a fire. The Kung Fun master then starts to use a fan to add oxygen, which is a common way to start a fire. Oddly he seems to be fanning air into his ear, which could just be for show. We aren’t sure there is any connection through the inner ear to the back of the mouth.

The smoke continues and at this point an assistant blows her cigarette towards the Kung Fu master’s mouth and it’s probably here that a spark is introduced. Suddenly you can see that the sawdust is actually on fire and the man is actually ‘breathing’ fire. He then adds more saw dust, continues to fan, and blow smoke and then the effect becomes more intense and it looks almost dragon like with strong, large noticeable bursts of fire coming from his mouth.
