This is usually occurs in cheapee cigarette lighters, if the flow and the burning rate of the butane is too high and the size of the flame exceeds the maximum. Than the flame appears as not in contact with the lighter.
but i've heard of what dor123 & seanB~1 are speaking of...and i think they have some youtube videos of it...still pretty neat though.
The cool thing is that you can crop the picture to only keep the flame, and tell the world you have magic powers
