Everyone seems to be fighting about if this is real or not, most who have said they have done it, said they got burnt, others say they did it, and it won't burn you if you do it right...

Hand held fireballs are true and very easy to make. If you just keep moving the ball around and do not touch the tip of the flame, you will not get burned. I would highly doubt they would test this anyways because it would put a lot of blame on the show to say "Go and play with fireballs kids, they really do work!" Some legal issues might come up.

Can't they get away with ''We do it so that YOU don't have to try it!''

they already busted it in proxy through the walking on hot coals myth. just as long as you dont hold the ball in one place for too long, then you wont get burned. and remember, heat travels up.
