What can you do that is fun with fire?

Mix Bicarb soda with vinegar then just straight after you put the vinegar in the bicarb soda put a candle over the cup. The flame goes out! AMAZING! It went out cuz the bicarb and the vinegar makes carbon dioxide which has little oxygen and fire needs oxygen so the fire goes out.
