First of all: NO, I dont want to perform one!
Its just, I recently saw this years Taurus Stunt Awards and there wer realy cool Fire stunts with people on fire.
I mean its not that "usual" stuff were a Stunt man is covered with burn proof textiles or something like that:
Those Pics are real, not CGI. At the end of the show, there were even models in bathsuits (or something linke that, the fire caught my attention ) on Fire, walking for at least 30sec.
So my question is, how are they doing it? I know that alcohol + water trick, but that starts to hurt after 5 secs. A whole Body stunt would be lethal I think.

Its similar to dowsing say a cloth in karosine, and lighting it, if you put out the fire before it actually ignites the cloths fabric, and the cloth is just fine, all be it a tad warm.

Oven gloves made from cloth survive taking bread out of the oven at 250C. Your hands wouldn't. I'm not sure this is the same thing as "dowsing say a cloth in karosine (sic), and lighting it"

wouldn't some low B.P./flash point work? as long as the whole thing is still soaked, it should keep the temperature at boiling point. water will help too as it has a high heat capacity. lastly, put on a layer of thick grease before putting clothes on, it will help slow the heat transfer.
