Here's the stuff your gonna need: 1 Paper Tube(home-made or pre-fab)that is 2-3" tall about 50 ml of gasoline ZipLoc storage bags Flash Powder(home-made or pre-fab) toilet paper Masking Tape 3-4 inches of cannon fuse. (if you make your own tube, use a PVC pipe 3/4" I.D.) ok... Ya take your tube... 1. Tape the bottom with your masking tape 2. Put two pieces of TP in the bottom (crumpled up) 3. smash the TP into the bottom 4. put a small piece of paper on top of the TP so the flash wont fall into the cracks 5. drill a hole in the side of the casing for your fuse 6. insert fuse 7. put 1-1.5 grams of Flash Powder in the tube 8. pour about 50 ml of gasoline into the corner of your ZipLoc Storage bag 9. twist the bag tightly so all of the gasoline is in one corner 10. wrap about 6 inches of masking tape tightly around the twisted part CAUTION: DO NOT PROCEED WITH NEXT STEP UNTIL JUST BEFORE USE!!! 11. insert the gasoline pouch into the tube 12. in an open area, at night, light fuse and run like the little sissy bitch that you are.
it will make an ungodly BOOM and make a fire ball about 7 feet tall and about 2 feet in diameter *note* THIS WILL SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF NEIGHBORS, DOGS, AND BASICALLY ANY LIVING BEING

I believe some SFX pyrotechnicians do use gas/bp lift for movie fireballs, though that's mainly for larger scale displays. In general, dealing with gasoline is more hassle than it's worth. You can put together a fairly quick, simple little fireball piece with a film canister, a small amount of BP, and naptha.
Ten second overview: Find a small film canister, fuse the lid. Fill the container part a quarter full with BP. Ontop of that, roughly two-quarters of finely sieved naptha, then tape or glue the lid on. If you cannot get lab or industrial grade naptha, look at your local store for naptha mothballs. Failing that, use Cremora coffee creamer. This scales up somewhat, but don't overdo it.
Gasoline fireballs are difficult to do safely. More than half of the time you'll end up with burning gas on the ground. You can get better results by tweaking the lift charge and mortar, but why bother?

look at your local store for naptha mothballs. You mean naphthalene.

the paper tubes used by torcher were about the same size as a film canister. flash was used instead of bp and gasoline could be poured in faster than napthalene and such. we didnt have one failed fireball (all went off with a great amount of noise and a pretty bright flash with a very short lived fireball. torcher didnt really make fireballs, he more or less made some rather powerful but small fuel air explosions.
EDIT: napthalene has about 6 different names, naptha being just one of them.

Naphthalene is something entirely different that naphtha. Naphthalene is a white crystalline solid while naphtha is a volatile liquid, for one thing. Saying naphthalene is the same thing as naphtha is like saying acetone is the same thing as acetone peroxide.

Eh... I assumed naphtha was one of the synonyms. I wasnt thinking clearly last night and i didnt bother to do a search to see what other synonyms would be.
synonyms: Naphthene, mothballs, tar camphor, naphthaliin, white-tar, albocarbon, mighty 150, mighty rd1, moth flakes, NCI-C52904, naphthalin, camphor tar,
I understood what was being said simply because he said naphtha mothballs.
damn see now i feel like a retard because i didnt catch that...
