Footage of an artist who claims he has to consume a large amount of kerosene each year so he can perform his fire breathing routine.

The video, captured in Kaifeng, Henan Province, China on Tuesday, shows Sun Huaisheng performing his fire show in front of a watching audience during a Temple Fair.

He has been performing his fire breathing routine since he was a child, and claims he regularly has to drink kerosene before each show.
