Some friends and I used to soak a tennis ball in lighter fluid, light it on fire, and play "hacky sack" with it. I'm completely shocked none of us ended up with any bad burns.

Edit: to be fair I do have plenty of burns but they are all from baking or getting baked, not from playing with fire.

We sprayed hair spray on our hands, lit them, and did flaming high fives.

We did this too. We used hacky sacks, socks and idk what else that would absorb lighter fluid and then play in the dark. Learned what burning hair smells like and melted some shoes but we kept doing it.
