Thinking you are all quite correct.
In less “ enlightened” times, his display would have been deemed witchery. How far we’ve come.
Friend got tix for Kiss concert in early 80’s. Was’nt a fan, but went anyway. Kid in row behind us does the butane blow over our heads. Instant Flame,small bits of crispy burnt hair smell. We lived.
Just saying, anyone who has piloted anything over large bodies of water in the vast darkness of night,has earned the titanium man-card,Mr BillH.

Of course, those kinds of people have given us all the modern conveniences and technological marvels we enjoy, but still….
After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.

Finally, someone who’s accomplished less in life than I have. Never thought I’d see it.
I am guessing, that guy is working on a much larger project. If not, Bill above, may be correct in his assessment.
It can be interesting watching the insane entertain themselves.
Fascinating! Until he was blinded by science.
My brother used to play Gene Simmons in the 80s with a butane lighter, does that count for something?
Reminds me. Wife’s making beans…
JWM
ummm… yes.
That was completely different.
(how did he do that?)
Am I the only one that thought it was a pretty cool display?
