This guy is fucking nuts. One pass is already pretty risky (relying on lidenfrost effect and such). A second and third time? This guy wants to lose his hand.

Be quick. And make your hand moist.

I think it's just so hot that as long as your hand is moist, the intense heat with create a barrier of steam between his skin, which keeps a very small, but very important, layer between the two. Same reason people can do this same trick with liquid nitrogen.

Witchcraft, obviously.

Well theoretically it ought to work this way too. Luckily we have Russians to test these kind of things.
