So he’s not supposed to actually catch on fire - just spin that flaming stick near his loose flammable clothing.

Thick clothing suggests proper pyrotechnic equipment, he didn't even notice his back was on fire for a while.

''Fire Pot Performance Goes Not As Planned''

Ya, he could have been a little more flammable, made a better fire ball. Maybe light the crowd up.
