Fire dancing?

[placidfemme]

Anywho... Sam's got a guy from her work (who makes custom sidebags for Harleys) to have a play around with making me some Fire Poi's. He reckons its easy as piss... so hopefully I should have a set very soon

Firebreathing aint too hard, unless you want to be real good, that takes skill.

You need a firestick, some kerosene, and milk.

Drink some milk, kind of buffers the stomach. Can help to put vaseline etc on lips and chin (kero dries the skin real bad)

Practise with water first, just a little water, maybe 15 to 30 mls?
You are trying to spray the water out of your mouth like steam, or to atomise it, like a perfume spray container. The finer the atomisation, the better the fireball is going to look like.

When you can do it comfortably and reliably with water, light up your firestick, swill some milk around your mouth, and drink a little too,
Then take a small amount of kero into mouth, spray it onto the (lit) firestick.

The rest is just practice.

Warning, you may singe hair, get a disgusting taste in your mouth, wake up witha crook guts, go to sleep witha crook guts etc.

After I have done it, I usually rinse my mouth out a heap of times with milk. It doesn't take much swallowed to give you a gutache for 10 hours or so.

So think if you really want to do it before you do.

Oh, and best done at night, then you can see your fireballs.

I'm sure BD can provide the camera and the photography skills.. and I'm sure some of our KB bretheren can provide nice bikes for the photoshoot.

I COULD provide the leather and chains but you do know that if I was in charge of costuming there wouldnt be very much of it right?

Sweet thanks for the advise

... ive had a play with my mates fire stick-thingee a few times and it was lots of fun.

You're excused, did you fart?

Sorry to drag up an old thread!

But last night, at our party, Speights_bud and his girlfriend turned up with the fire-poi gear. I had a go and it's not that hard. I'm really unco at times, and I didn't do too much damage. I just went straight into the flames. Was a heaps of fun, with minimal hair loss (arm and back of neck).

So, Placid, did you ever end up doing this? I'm borrowing Speights' practice poi's to get some moves done first. But an easy way to practice without fire is to use skipping ropes (cut in half, with something to loop your fingers through) with tennis balls (or some other not-so-heavy weight) on the end.

I'll keep you posted how I go. It's really addictive!

[tl_tub]

Im teaching myself fire staff, though its hard to find people with a similar interest

[hXc]

Yeah the staff isn't really appealing to me eh. I prefer the poi's.

[tl_tub]

I cant count the number of times ive hit myself in the head with it

The three section staff type nunchuck things look rather interesting

I was surprised to see there isnt a huge amount of forums on the web, and the ones that have some nz/aust people on them, arent very active at all. It looks as if there are some frequent meet ups in auckland though?

[Skyryder]

Does anyone here on KB do any Fire Dancing or Fire Play of any type?

A friend of mine does that fire spitting thing, where you put the liquid in your mouth and spit it out to make a huge flame... she said she would teach me...


Any tips, ideas or suggestions?

Got a little interested in fire eating thing. One seriouse bit of advice if you go down this road. Carry a towel and wipe the mouth every time you breath out fire. This is a precaution in case of any inflammable residue escapes from your mouth. I use to use kerosine. Not too sure what proffessionals use.

NEVER NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DO ANY FIRE EATING IF YOU HAVE THE HICCUPS OR ANY KIND OF INDEGESTION.

Other than that use your head.

There's a guy in Auckland Tim West that trains fire eaters etc.
