The Art of Fire Spinning

Fire Spinning - Also known as Fire Twirling, Fire Dancing, Fire Performance, or Fire Manipulation - is a performance art which involves the manipulation of things on fire. Usually the objects have one or more wicks which are soaked in fuel and set alight.
There are various types of equiptment used in fire spinning, ranging from the tools used to dance with, or those with a martial arts feel to them, including, but not limited to - poi, staff, fans, rope dart, swords, hoops - and so much more. The limits of this equipment is up to the spinners imagination.
The most common material the wicks are constructed of is kevlar, and poi (one of the more common fire performer tools) is made by putting a wick on the end of two chains, with finger loops, and Staves (another common one) are made from a long aluminum tube, usually, with a wick attached at either end. A couple different fuels are used, in the UK kerosene/pariffin is used and in America/North America Camp Fuel (Colemans gas) or a 50/50 mix of kerosene and Camp fuel is used.

Just remember though, play with fire, and you will get burned.
