Light sucking flames look like magic

I've posted about this black fire on the blog before.

This one - from Steve Mould - doesn't add a whole lot new to the basic technique of shining a sodium vapor light on a methanol (stay safe out there, folks) flame that has been doped with sodium chloride. It does add in some more information on how the spectra are created and some info about enchroma glasses (more on them next week).
