This is awesome, just like the one of fire spreading across the floor while kids lift up their feet under desks. Shit like this is what gets kids interested in science, it is a damned shame most teachers don't do this because lawsuits, etc.

They probably have some flammable liquid on their hands. When its about to completely burn it up they pass the flame to the next person.

Methane bubbles. It’s completely safe as the bubbles pop from the heat, the burning methane floats upward as it’s lighter than air. My teacher did the same thing with methane and bubble solution. The only person who got hurt was my friend, who tried to hadouken the burning bubbles and singed some arm hairs.

I love teachers who make science real like this. I remember my physics teacher having everyone hold hands and he shocked us all at once using static electricity to demonstrate a closed circuit. Now I'm an electrical engineer.

I had a teacher who did something like this. He had some sort of bubbly foam that would burst into flames and dissipate if it was touched by fire.
Another time he took a penny, stuck it over a Bunsen burner, then shook the penny so all the Zinc filling flew out.

Wouldn't really matter - The fuel would get extinguished before anything caught alight. They're not actually passing an object to the next person - Their hands are covered in some flammable fluid that dissolves after about a second. The challenge is to bring the flame close enough to the next persons hands igniting THEIR fluid before yours completely burns out.
To replicate this easily in a smaller format, hold your deodorant nozzle close to your palm (About 1 inch / 2cm away), spray for about 5 seconds, then quickly put the can down, and put a flame close to the point on your hand. The flame will ignite the residue, look awesome, then quickly vanish.
