    fire balls?

    OK, if I understand correctly, these fire balls are essentially wire meshed balls that have a little fire inside that are big enough to protrude outside... But how do you juggle them without getting burnt???

    this is probably a stupid question, but still...

    Mine are of a different variety. Kevlar cloth over a wooden ball. However the only way to juggle them is to use the kevlar gloves that came with them.

    It was only after my first attempt I was informed your supposed to dip the gloves in water first. The effect without the water was "amazing" balls burning, gloves burning, fell apart when the arm hairs started burning trying to remove the gloves.

    I have yet to incorporate them into any of my present shows, but probally will eventually. Figgure wearing the gloves you'll safely get about 30 secs to a minute of safe fire pattern. Have to be able to juggle wearing the gloves though.

    Have fun with them. Keep a bucket of water handy when starting though.
