YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

This guy is playing with fire — literally. Doug "Demon" Thompson spends his days burning up his body in the "Circus of Hell" — a family fire performance troupe that's so sizzling, it'll singe your hair right off. Always fascinated by the element, Thompson, an Alberta, Canada, resident, eventually taught himself how to light his body on fire without feeling pain. "If I don't actually feel my flesh or a part of me getting physically burnt," he devilishly shares, "it's almost that it doesn't even exist."

With a little bit of protective coating and a whole lot of bravery, see him break the world record for "hottest flame extinguished on the human tongue." Warning: Things get so hot in this episode of "Extraordinary People," you may need some ice to cool down after watching it.
