matches. I do not advise anybody below the age of 16 to create such gimmicks by the suggested means and do advise all who wish to create such gimmicks to do so
with absolute care. Those below the age of 16 who wish to create these gimmicks in such a suggested method must ask a responsible adult to do so for them. I do
not take any responsibility for any damage caused whatsoever as a result of attempting to create such a gimmick. Fire kills and is a dangerous element, please use
your knowledge and take absolute care if you do chose to create these gimmicks. For those who choose to create these gimmicks, please do so in an open and well-
aired area where no flammable substances are, i advise that these gimmicks are created above a bucket or container full of water and that a fire extinguisher is close
by. After creating the gimmicks, please ensure for your own safety that the lighter or matches have been fully extinguished before concluding the creation. Check
