The fact that it's all operating off of one central motor just boggles me... it's too bad those pics indicate that folks couldn't get too close while he was shooting fire.

It's responsible for a fair bit of facemelting, jaw-dropping bogglement on my part, and was a primary motivator to getting involved with the Burning Man DMV...
