Suggestions from Justin Sabe following a performance at Bound with the Baltimore Calefaction Society:

1) it might be a good idea to have a spotter trained on fueling up and spinning out

2) need to make a container that has a lid and can not be knocked over

3) it would be good to have some lamp oil to put out and cool the smoldering fire eating tourches before dipping them in white gas again.

4) having 2 lovely assistants rules! 1 for the towel 1 for crowd control

5) Thats not a girl

6) the crowd likes it when you laugh off mistakes

7) fire eating takes a great knowledge of how fire works and a great disregard for common sence. the crowd dosn't care and likes the poi better

8) short un announced performances work best because you don't repeat tricks as often and don't shut down the dance floor as long and there is nothing exspected. ie: "They took time away from me dancing for this?"

9) fire play smooths the performance out, doing transfers off ofeach other to light equipment.

10) don't forget to take a bow when your done.
