It burns plastic clothing! The heat of the tiny sparkles melts the plastic in synthetic clothes in the tiny amount of time it is in contact. It does not happen with NATURAL fibres, cotton, wool, linen. Try it and see!

Because it's fire and hot enough to burn clothes and your skin. If you really don't know why,then you're not old enough to be playing with sparklers
