Don't let the candle wick get cold - you need to do it while it's still glowing red, so you need to let it burn a little while first and then when you blow it out, relight it with the smoke pretty quickly. The smoke also needs to be fairly thick so again, don't linger too long.
It really does work!
Candles burn vaporized paraffin wax. The "smoke" is supposed to be the combustible vapors when you light it, so, grey, not black, as someone else said.
In normal candle operation the solid wax melts and capillaries up the wick to be vaporized and burned, generating heat to keep the process going as long as there's wick in wax
Yeah, they did this in elementary school science classes I had
Tried it with three differant candles ,whats the trick.

Go for the white smoke, not the grey/black smoke.

Knew about this 50+ years ago when I was just 10 years old. I've always been a science geek though!
it's the wax in the smoke that is doing it. which is why it only works with wax candles.
Why not hold the lighter in any other way that doesn’t involve cooking your thumb
because shes appears to be an "influencer"
Why not use a metal spoon
Yes, I did.
Living humans eat dead mushrooms Living mushrooms eat dead humans
Yes I discovered this at age like 10
