California magician Wayne Houchin was on a TV show in the Dominican Republic when the host doused his head in a flammable fluid which quickly caught fire. The fireball caused the magician burns to the face, neck and hand. Because the video of the fuck up went viral on the internet, Wayne Houchin released the after accident photos of burns he’d suffered. As a magician, he’d never been this famous so it only makes sense.
On his Facebook page Wayne Houchin commented that doctors who are treating him don’t anticipate his face to form any permanent scars.
The burning happened on November 26, 2012 while filming for the “Closer To The Stars” TV show. Guest host Franklin Barazarte rubbed “Agua de Florida” – a highly flammable cologne used in Santeria rituals on the magician’s head and for some reason it quickly caught fire. It is unclear what ignited the liquid.
After the incident, Wayne Houchin said it was not a stunt but “a criminal act”, however he praised actions of the TV crew for quickly jumping in to save him.
Here’s a video of the incident which was not broadcast on the Dominican TV, but leaked onto the internet anyway:
And a gallery with a few photos, including shots Wayne Houchin posted to show the extent of his injuries:

And, because it happened in a shit hole like the DR, suing the fuck out of the TV show is unlikely to get him anywhere. Poor fucking guy!
Yeah
DR is a fucken dump loaded with criminals and dirty spics. Then these spics come to the US and spread their criminal ways. Take a look at Washington Heights in NYC. Dominican Spics ruined that area.
♪♫”do you believe in magic?”♫♪
LOL Magic….
Damn that fire came out of nowhere. Magic at its finest.
Abracadabra….my next trick will be at the Burn Unit.
Loved his fabulous douche bag style of applying the cologne…
@drccoco, haha! Yes, as did I
hahaha good one!
He should do that trick again in Tibet!
Here’s my theory. If you look carefully the host rubbed his hands together before spreading the cologne on the magicians head; friction is what caused the fire, plus the heat from his hands.
The crew did a great job helping out, but the host kept trying to touch the magician again – stupid ass!!!
No doubt, he kept on rubbing his alcohol-smeared hands through the guy’s hair while the flames were at their highest- total brainless fuck. Then after the fire was long since out, he kept running his hands through the guy’s hair. Bet that felt reeaal good. I suppose he thought he was soothing him, or trying to make it look like he was the one who rescued him.
Magician – maybe.
Super Hero wannabe – absolutely… Flame On!
Your telling me XD
Imagine if he catches on fire in the middle of the stage, and nobody helps him because they think its all part of his act.
I remember that magician, Tommy Cooper, who had a heart attack and collapsed during his performance, and everybody in the audience laugh because they thought he was just kidding.
If only he could make his face disappear.
I was expecting to see a pidgeon as soon as the flames were extinguished. What a rip off.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Party on Wayne!
…Party on Garth!
Does “Agua de Florida” make a women’s perfume too? I’d like to send some of that to my ex-wife for Christmas.
@joe112358
haha too funny!
Is that your Ghost Rider impression Wayne?
I still think Nicolas Cage does it way better.
The dude in the red shirt was extremely alert and quick on his feet.
He was doing coke in the green room before the show started.
that was just crazy bizarre…….interesting cologne….ignites the passion in you…….i think i will pass on the passion
i love how he curses in english but speaks spanish.
aww shit!
“Are you okay? Are you burnt?”
Of course he’s fucking burnt, his head was set on fire.
I’m surprised his beard didn’t catch on fire ^_^
Hey,just wanna say that I’m goin through somethin’ here that just once again proves that you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent! god bless america, fuckin’ scumbags. Sorry guys ,I really needed to vent.
Hang in there brother lunatic.
@lunatic, truly sorry! as drccoco said, hang in there..
If you look guilty, you are guilty in this country. I’v been there too. Vent it up!
I hear on that @drip, unfortunetaly I lose my car on this one, they can’t prove me guilty, but I can’t prove my innocence,unless, of course I hire a lawyer who costs more than my car.And @dr and iwm, thanks for the support!
I once hired a lawyer for $1000 to get out a $200 fine. Sounds stupid, but it was a weed charge that was dismissed, and having that off my record was worth more than a grand to me.
So it always boils down to what shit is worth to YOU. I hope things work out for ya.
@Lunatic, that sucks! Always a catch 22 legally! your’re welcome for the support!
@lunatic
thinking of ya and sending all my good vibes your way – sticky business dealing with the law and lawyers and all that garbage…i wish you the absolute best!
I’m not fuckin with anything related to Santeria. Do think that cologne smelled like love? I don’t think so.
@1girl1cup I don’t practice senteria I ain’t got no crystal Ball I had a million dollars but I .. i spent it all
Vent it out, you’ll feel better. We good listeners.

Good luck i rather have my eyelids cut off…ooh actually that does sound pretty enticing.
doesn’t look so bad, first degree, maybe superficial second. he’ll be fine. douche.
@Obliterator. yes, I guess he was lucky, if those guys wouldn’t have jumped in there quick like and helped him, it might have been worse.

Worst magician ever.
with all the seemingly desperate men on this site i’m surprised none of them have hit on you yet…even tho it is so easy to find a pic of a sexy female for anyone to use as an avatar…half the woman on this site might be dudes…but i’m just an asshole, what do i know
@DoeDee well hello there
@obliterator XD does this mean I’m a desperate bastard O_o ..? well I’ve got to admit that chick has one rocking body the tattoos look great on her. Do tattoos hurt or do they tickle o.o ..?
They definetly tickle
Show me the kid who wouldn’t want this kinda wild shit to happen at their birthday party.
Eh, least hes alright. Nice to know that not everyone in other countries are compete shitheads.
Where the Fuck did that fire come from?
hot fucking stage lights + voodoo juice = seemingly spontaneous combustion.
Reminds me of that guy from YT that always lights his head on fire
You are now a famous MAGICIAN motherfucker!!!!!!
Next time burn your pubic hair, wanna see your grilled balls sucker!
He was really lucky, he didn’t burn himself badly at all, he’s still got his eyebrows and his eyelashes. I’ve singed mine worse lighting up a cigarette with a zippo lighter.
Perhaps static ignited it when the dude put his hands through his hair?
i got my husband to watch the video to translate it for me….at the end of the video, the man filming says, “i knew that man was going to do something stupid.” the rest of the video was just stuff like “don’t touch his face” and “get a doctor”.
thats what happens when you play with fire dumases. the end resoult is YOU GET BURNT
Duminican are the stupidest people on the face of this planet behind the Mexicans, Mexicans are the cockroaches of the United States they are the reason the u.s is all fucked up admit it cockroaches your race is nasty fungus race
