Vortices made of flame are an awesome sight, but as this new video by the SlowMo Guys beautifully illustrates, they take on a completely new complexion when seen in slow motion.

Gav and Dan created the fire tornado, also known as a fire whirl, by positioning a dozen fans around a kerosene fire pit. The slow motion video, shot at 2,500 fps and 1,000 fps, gives the flames an almost textural quality.
