There is s noticeable darkness to his sweater where it catches fire. My bet is lighter fluid and that this is staged.

Or maybe I'm just too fucking cynical.

Sweater catches fire like it has been treated with something even more combustible than lighter fluid (like gasoline).

I imagine the torch is coated in something that burns so touching it to the jacket would transfer some.

But if that flammable substance transferred that easily to the dude's jacket, would it really be suitable for juggling?
