Working and making a fire doth discretion require.
The information was kept hidden for the same reason we keep matches from children. In the correct hands, fire can provide illumination... but in the wrong hands, fire can be highly destructive.
Why was the blind guy playing with matches, you ask? Because he's good at it. Anything to do with fire, igniting things, exploding things, things with fuses, wicks, accelerants . . . Iggy's your man. It's one of those good/bad things.
The one advantage of playing with fire...is that no one ever gets singed. It is the people who don't know how to play with it who get burned up.
It is my hope to teach my students how to work a match and at the same time put on an entertaining show that you aren't embarassed to bring your kids to.
When you're an actor and you can set your arm on fire, you feel kind of magical.
No use fanning up hot coals when you have to walk across them.
