Sodium Carbide granules react with water to form acetylene gas which can then be used for this type of demo. I am not advocating, but I have heard of it being used in that fashion.
Here's a new one on me. Science teacher uses "explosives," according to the title, or "flammable gas" according to his narrative, to carve a pumpkin. I'm guessing methanol, based on the video? No shields, lots of flame.
