This is a fire snake. Don’t be scared, it’s mainly made of carbon and it doesn’t bite.
Here’s how you can create yours in five simple steps:
Step 1) Fill an old bowl with sand. Be careful! The sand must be dry.
Step 2) Soak the sand in lighter fluid.
Step 3) Mix 1 tbsp baking soda with 4 tbsp sugar.
Step 4) Pour the sugar/baking soda mixture into a pile on top of the sand.
Step 5) Finally, use a lighter to ignite the lighter fluid.
Perfect! Now you just need to wait for chemistry to do its job: it will create a fire snake that seems to come out directly from the sand.
