The simple explanation for viral video of Kansas City Royals fan with a wallet of fire
Bally Sports Kansas City broadcaster Ryan Lefebvre wondered if this was something out of a TikTok video.
It wasn’t, but this was definitely something you don’t see everyday at the ballpark: a fan opening his wallet to show a TV cameraman that it contained flames.

That video immediately went viral thanks to a retweet from Rex Chapman and a share by Barstool.
While that’s a strange sight, some fans knew immediately that it was just a trick. In fact, there are multiple companies selling them on Amazon.

That last part seems important.
