In my dining room we all had set stations and rarely worked out of them. Mine was on the bottom tier of the dining area. But, I was asked to do a foster on the top tier for a friend who was in the weeds. I wheel everything over to the table they ask if I will explain what im doing. Everything is going great they're loving the show. Until I flame the rum. I'm used to the flame. It usually goes either straight up or slightly back. Nobody had explained the vents to me and I was somehow ignorant of the air blowing directly above me. So, there goes my flame shooting across towards my table!! It came within a foot of the lady I was mortified. Don't worry I did something similiar over a bananas foster. In my dining room we all had set stations and rarely worked out of them.
