Do you know how to light a candle without touching a flame to its wick? Watch this video to find out how:

Explanation
I first learned about this “trick” when I was in elementary school. If I remember correctly, I believe the flame from the portable torch ignites the smoke and travels down to the source where it re-ignites the wick.

If you have a better explanation for this, please leave a comment, and I’ll update this post.
