Hello there!
Now, sometimes when we're recording "The Slow Mo Guys,"
we perform the experiment --
Before we perform the intro.
You guessed it, this is one of those times.
Yeah.
Can't really hide the fact
that Dan has already got himself covered in cornstarch.
Dan, what're we doing with this little torch?
So, basically I'm gonna try fire breathing today,
and see what that looks like in slow mo.
It'll be pretty badass, I think.
Yeah, so I'm gonna sort of--
Like that.
Whoa, I felt the heat on that.
That was good.
All right, let's see what it looks like in slow mo!
Can I have some water, please?
Yeah.
All right, so what is our fuel of choice?
'kay, today we've got some cornstarch.
This is what I'd go for,
because it's sort of safer than using kerosene.
Cause it's not, like, inherently flammable.
Dan is not a professional,
so we didn't wanna put flammable liquid in his gob.
Yeah, I've never done it before.
So, basically what I'm gonna do
is jam as much cornstarch into my mouth
as I possibly can,
and then sort of blow it out in a fine powder,
and then it'll deflagrate
by burning the next layer of material
and just sort of create a big fireball, hopefully.
Have you noticed that pretty much anything
in powder form is flammable?
Yeah. Sweet, innit?
Yeah, just cause--
Even flour.
It's easily burnable, and so that's what it does.
It just heats up the next layer of material
and just burns it, cause it's so fine.
All right, lets bung some in.
Cool.
How's it taste?
It looked like a bloody explosion in space,
with stuff flying out of it.
Huh.
Lookit, there's your face shot.
Oh, nice. When I was, like--
That looks badass!
That is cool! That's cool.
What's it taste like?
Like... corn tacos or burritos.
Like a tortilla.
Yeah, like a tortilla.
Tastes like a tortilla.
All right, solid video.
Flames look good.
Dan, you don't look good.
You are absolutely caked in cornstarch.
I think it's a good look for me.
Yeah.
Follow us on Twitter if you want.
Buy the shirts, if you want.
Maybe just sit there if you want,
and don't do anything.
Just watch the videos and that.
Do whatever you want.
Whatever feels right.
See you in the next one.
That didn't look as good.
Didn't look as impressive. No.
All right.

There's over 150,000 books to choose from.
I haven't listened to them all yet.
It's gonna take some time.
This week, I recommend "The Hobbit,"
because the last movie just came out,
and it's the perfect time to listen
to "The Hobbit," in my opinion.
You can speed it up or slow it down as well,
depending on how fast you listen.
It's pretty neat.
All right, that's it.
Thanks for watching, bye!
