A strangely hypnotic video that features 6,000 matches being lit in a chain reaction has become a surprising viral sensation, amassing millions of hits in only a few days.
While the subject matter may sound akin to watching paint dry, the video is oddly compelling and boasts over 12 million views since going online just 2 weeks ago.
Clocking in at a robust 15 minutes, the complete film shows the fire spawned by the stunt from ferocious beginning to dwindling end, creating something akin to a dystopian yule log.
For those who lack the patience to sit through the whole fire as it unfolds, we highly recommend skipping to the end of the video to see the breathtaking aftermath of charred and twisted matches.
Consensus online seems to be that it is an amazing work of art, although there are also many other viewers who are astounded that the creator of the video was crazy enough to perform the trick on a wooden desk.
In the event that someone attempts to try the trick with even more matches, perhaps they should pick up the Elide 'Fire Ball' that we told you about earlier this month.
