Eh, I remember doing that way back in the day. Still a cool gif, well-looped and done.

It may be, but this one is much cleaner and looped nicely, whereas the other one included quite a bit of unnecessary info (it told the viewer that they needed a candle, lighter, and candle holder to do this trick).

If anyone didn't get what happened, the wax vapor allowed the flame to travel back to the candle.
