Haven't pulled them out for a few years now, but I can confirm fire poi are awesome.

Back in my late teens I had an arrangement with an entertainment company where they would send me out to events to perform. Made all my own costumes too.

It was a really fun period in my life, even if it was short-lived. There is a certain joy in performance. A shared experience with a crowd as you take them on a journey. It's addictive.

Been nearly a decade since I've done any of that, but I cherish the memories.
