Finally I got the video instruction from Murphys. It seems there is no flash cotton needed for this trick. I have not tried it yet, but I doubt if the fire can be seen as shown on the video demo.

Can anyone who has this, tell me if Lycopodium Powder (dragon's breath) is involved in creating the flame?

Any new information or reviews on this?

And is this the same gimmick used on the beginning of the Nestor Hato DVD?

As the product seems to be supplied without instructions, it's hard to imagine that the Nestor Hato DVD which shows a flame shooting out from his hand, is the Flash Gun 2. But of course, there are probably ways to make this happen. The Flash Gun 2, which as I said above, I don't own, but have seen, is certainly capable of creating a flash and bang at your fingertips. I think it would require flash cotton, but maybe I'm wrong there. I never got to try it out, so I don't know if the igniter would do any more than create a bang (which it certainly can do).
My preference for this type of effect is a more substantial product, which is attached to a pull. There are some awesome pyrotechincs units available. Flash Gun 2 is quite simply, highly overpriced. A lot of your buck is paying for the "secret", which frankly, isn't original at all.
Flash Gun 2 is a neat unit, and potentially could sell thousands. If the manufacturer were to get real, he'd sell this for a fraction of the price. I guess he wants to keep it "exclusive"......until someone rips off his "idea".....and in the meantime, whoever buys it wishes he'd done a bit more shopping around.....
My 2c...

I got this, neat idea - but incredibly OVERPRICED. Cannot do what is shown in the video, and is VERY LOUD ! I also could not find a video.

I am sending it back

Flash cotton works well with this. It makes a nice flame, and seems to work pretty well if you really pack it with fuel. I haven't succeeded in making it look like the flamethrower we saw in the original video. But everything said here is on the mark. It's a $10 product (maybe $25, to compensate the creator for the idea) with minimal instructions. If people are close to you, you might want them to cover their ears (which, of course, kills some of the shock value). But, like Tarbell said, some of the best effects are very simple, and the effect itself isn't bad at all.

Could someone write where is flame produced?, does it look like on demo video...or the flame just pops out above the hand ?

It depends how you hold the gimmick. You can control the direction.
