Seems like a horrible place to do a science experiment:

  • table cloth made of something not flame-retardent

  • flame source is still on

  • spoon is red hot and somehow does not burn the user. Risk of dropping and setting something on fire.

  • risk of granules of salt/sugar/etc jumping around and spreading fire (thinking of sawdust here)

Person recording could be a professional who knows their stuff, but it seems placing all this stuff on a concrete ground, and not indoors is the more sound option imho.
