Fire juggling is a performance art that involves tossing and catching objects that are set on fire, such as torches or poi. Jugglers use specific techniques to manipulate these flaming items safely, often incorporating spins, throws, and catches. The practice requires skill, focus, and a deep understanding of fire safety to prevent accidents.
Performers typically train with non-flammable props before transitioning to fire. Safety measures, such as having fire extinguishers and safety personnel nearby, are crucial during performances. Fire juggling is often seen at festivals, circuses, and street performances, captivating audiences with its combination of skill and visual spectacle.
