Fire is a lovely thing.  I'm a fire sign, so I should think so.  I got thrown out of my first bars by playing with the table candles.  I prized my butane lighter in middle school, when a special few of us were allowed to carry one because we were working with macrame.  Dorks with lighters.  I eventually used the lighter for what it was intended for.  But that wasn't until my 30's, and I'm over it already.  I'm jonesing for a fire - Texas is in an Extraordinary (not just Severe, mind you) drought.  So no fires.  I've taken to gazing at my gas stove top.  Not very satisfying.

So it was with relish that I tried out the fire trick for my show.  You might have seen it last week on the Colbert Report.  It's a flaming book trick.  And here's what it looks like!

Didn't your dad ever teach you not to play with fire?!?

Well, whatever. He still thinks you're hot stuff!
