Hey Q,
Yeah I know how to blow :) :)  What do you think about the 151 coming in 
contact with the oil? When I taught bar tricks and bar magic at Disney, 2 
others guys taught bottle flippin' and fire blowing. We always blew with a 
homemade torch of napkins stuck in  a bottle. At my Lulu of a Luau I'm gonna 
give fire-blowing lessons and want a continous flame and I thought a tiki 
torch would be great since they will be everywhere....my only safety concern 
is the 2 combustibles meeting. Thanks for the description though...it was good.
