I'm not opposed to making it myself, or buying it from someone else, but I need either construction tips or a good source. Anyone?

Thu, June 5, 2008 - 5:03 PMah yes, i saw those in use at Firedrums. i had seen similar tools, but they are fixed on a wire, and have rubber bands at the ends that loop around your fingers, allowing you to move your hands apart while the fire stays still. does the wick slide around on these, or is that illusion? -

Mon, July 28, 2008 - 10:35 PMYes, the wick is loose on the cable so it can slide freely. -

Tue, July 29, 2008 - 12:15 AMSage had one at Fire Drums, but it didn't slide, it was static. Both have their advantages, but I saw a vid of Sage using the static one and it seemed to have more true dance applications.
Make videos! -
