@Dina – Thanks for the link! I like the “related posts by others” concept…good stuff!

@Nancie – Photographing fire spinning is oh so much fun…playing with settings, shutter speeds & exposures, lighting conditions….it’s a blast! Almost as much fun as spinning itself….

@Dina – The best way to learn is from friends, or to take a course or buy a video. No I haven’t gotten burned, but it IS very dangerous, and I have friends with bad burns from it. I practiced for many months before I ever worked with fire…as the phrase goes: “Learn before you burn”!

The 3 fire staffs are actually fire poi, with three wicks on each poi. It works the same as regular poi – just more fire!

Wow! I’m jealous Next time I see these fire spinners, I will ask them where I can learn it! Have you gotten any burn by it? I sit dangerous? Any burn case you know and how bad?

It must be very awesome to see a half dozen fire spinners in the same time! In one of the picture up there, a girl is having 3 fire staffs in each hands? Wow!

@Backpacker – Indeed, try it! A great way to start is to get a pair of long socks, stick a tennis ball in the end of each, and whamo – you have a set of practice poi! Have at ‘er…

Cool! I love the photos. You got those photos like a Pro. Perfect. I wish I could do fire-spinning also. Will try one of these days. Heading to Phuket next year, have heard some cool fire-spinning activities there, hmm I am excited to try them!!
