Thereof, how does flame travel through smoke?

Regarding this, is smoke from a candle flammable? Candle smoke is flammable because as you burn the candle it melts and evaporates the paraffin wax. This means that the smoke contains paraffin vapor which is flammable.

Thereof, what is the science behind magic candles?

The flame you see in a candle is burning paraffin vapor. When a trick candle is blown out, the burning magnesium particles appear as tiny sparks in the wick. When the 'magic' works, one of these sparks ignites the paraffin vapor and the candle starts to burn normally again. Thereof, why did the smoke ignite while the candle without smoke did not? Here is his explanation: 1) When you are burning a candle, you are essentially vaporizing the liquid wax into a gas that is flammable. This vapor can then be used as fuel for the candle flame. 3) Therefore, as you hold a flame close to the smoke it will light the unused wax vapor that is in the smoke.

You can also ask how do people touch flames?

Fire, or flames in particular, cannot be touched because it is gas, illuminated by an exothermic oxidation reaction. Having said that, if you anesthetize your hand (or wear a fireproof material or somehow remove hurt/burn from the picture), surely you can put your hand in it and see soot accumulate on your hand... One may also ask can you light a candle by looking at it? Instructions: Stare at a fixed point ? in this case, the blue candle flame ? and (importantly) do not move the position of your eyes. Stare for 15-30 seconds. You will begin to see a glow around the flame.
