FIRE EATING
As seen in the Epic Antigone rituals involving fire were common in ancient Greece. Soldiers would hold a red hot bar of iron or walk through burning coals to prove their innocence in trials. In approximately BC 150 a Syrian by the name of Eunus claimed he could communicate with the gods by breathing fire from his mouth. In Japan Shinto priests are believed to have invented what is called hi-watari or fire walking, the practice of walking barefoot through a bed of flaming hot coals. This practice latter spread to India and was made world famous by Hindu Fakirs. Dai Andrews' fire performance consists of feats of fire eating and fire resistance. He even swallows the flames from up to six torches simultaneously. The act concludes with a feature so dangerous that most seasoned fire-eaters will not even attempt it... the Blowout a 15' fireball spewn high into the air! It is an awesome spectacle not to be missed!
