I... I didn't even know there was some kind of "community" centered around doing tricks with lighters. Like always, it's pretty hypocritical of me to criticise the hobbies of others, but...

"My oldest son who is 11 is currently considering whether he should focus on football, the guitar or lighter tricks."

I think you should push him towards the lighter tricks thing, because we all know there's no money in football or music. Yeah, it's not like this kid is going to grow up to be John Elway or BB King (THAT'S BB KING!!!!! LUCILLE!!!!!!), but still. At least there's some infinitesimally small yet still finite chance that he could make something of himself doing pretty much anything besides lighter tricks.
