Playing with fire: Shocking footage from a bar in Moscow shows the moment a lady's face was engulfed in a blaze when the bartender poured alcohol onto a flame
Pouring on alcohol: Initially the group gathered round are impressed by the bartender's fancywork and a customer in a green dress watches his movements attentively
He sets fire to the top of three tall glasses with what seems to be alcohol inside.
The woman, who has momentarily got up from her seat, settles back down on the bar stool in front of the beverages.
As the barman pours alcohol onto the blue flames a neighbouring man plays with a straw and blows into it.
The combination of these two actions was to have tragic consequences
As the highly flammable liquid touches the tip of the second glass a huge ball of flames flies forward from the drink engulfing the woman's face.
Awful screams can be heard from the woman, as well as the straw-wielding man, as she runs away from the bar and falls on the floor.
The man helps her as the camera footage loses all focus in the melee.
Her piercing shrieks are truly disturbing as she stumbles down the stairs towards the bathroom, followed by the man.

The howls do not stop as the footage ends with another woman bringing forward a damp towel.
The horrifying scene was posted to Facebook by Indonesian Glorion Daten, although it is not known if he is linked to the original video.
It has now been viewed nearly 11million times with the Internet highly alarmed at the clip. Most pour criticism on the careless bartender as well as the thoughtless man with the straw.
Some question whether the spectacle was simply a stunt but others claiming to be special effects experts have refuted that.
It is believed the woman is to be paid damages of 2million rubles (nearly £20,000) by the bar following the accident.
