I tried something similar

I used to play with my zippo lighters a lot in high school, hence the whole pyro group thing. But I would sometimes put the lighter fluid in my palm and light it, it wouldn't burn me thanks to gravity, but you have to make sure to throw the remaining liquid out of your hand before it burns all the way, neat trick by the way. But this guy took it to a whole new level of awesomeness:

Playing with Fireballs
Yes thats right how to make your own damn fireballs, just watch the video and don't burn your house down.
