Now we just need somebody to try it out and report back. I'd do it myself, but ever since that arson conviction, I can't go near flames....pretty, pretty flames....[licks lips]
UPDATE: Some comment forums on the Innarwebs have started claiming this is a either a) a hoax, or b) very difficult to pull off without seriously injuring yourself.
From what we can glean from the drooling rabble, it might not be a hoax, but playing with fire and lighter fluid is apt to get most fools burned. It's probably wise to keep this trick out of the kitchen and leave this one to the professionals...professional idiots.

This probably works just fine. Back in the days when I was a kid in 1950 and there were lots of lighters around that used lighter fluid, a neat trick was to pour a little lighter fluid in the palm of your hand and set it alight. It would burn away but your hand wouldn't get hot.
