Yes! REAL Science Camp! Lycopodium Powder and a blowtorch! Ryan LOVES it!!!

These were not continuous flames, they were merely huge flashes that I was able to capture perfectly with the X100S; other cameras probably wouldn't have reacted fast enough and been able to get the exposure right on the first — and only — shot I could make.
