Looking for recommendations of dance-y audience pleasing things to do with Russian Grip Fans. I've been told my spinning is too tech-y, and want to add more mass appeal.

I used to live in Asheville, and there are a couple regular burns. There's one at The Landing, one at The Bywater, and often there's one going at Warren Wilson College, though you usual...

Anyone know of burn circles happening in either of these cities? ever since I moved to the middle of nowhere, Virginia, I've missed my flow community at Creative Labs in Baltimore.

Hollow torches for vapor tricks with great handles
"At first when I got these, I was really confused/concerned because the spinning knobs don't have an obvious hole. I thought I would have to take them off entirely when I performed in order to do vapor pulls and other hollow torch tricks. I was disappointed, but also figured that since I only paid $30 for a set of hollow torches, I had gotten my money's worth. BUT THEN! I discovered that the ends of the knobs pull off to reveal the hollow insides, while still having a great grip for club style torch tech. Basically, these torches have the best grips on the market! HoP should advertise that feature more it's amazing. To open the knob, pinch on the sides near the top and the cap will begin to pull off. My only complaint is that the wicks are pretty fat as well as long, making them harder to fit comfortably in my mouth, and increasing burn risk. I may unwrap them and remove a layer of kevlar if this is a persistent issue. THANKS HOME OF POI! Dark Monk can suck it!"

Re-purchase :)
"I really like these fans. I wish HoP made doodle grip fans, but these are some beautiful Russian grips, and the price can t be beaten, even considering shipping from NZ to the US. I m re-purchasing because the frames of my old pair (purchased in April as a total beginner) have bent seriously out of shape, and I m worried that with all the bending, metal fatigue will lead to the loss of a wick. I blame all the bending on the fact that I was a total beginner when I began (and I dropped them all the time), but it s worth noting that the metal isn t very hard to bend. I d also recommend purchasing in black not white, bc they get quickly discolored by soot. Nonetheless, I really do love these fans, and I plan to use my old pair until they break for good."

Fun toy, should replace string for serious flow
"I am a total beginner to Levi-wand, so I don t know too much about the practice, but based on what i ve figured out in watching tutorials, this wand isn t set up like most serious Levi-wands are. I love that the string is fishing wire and therefore closer to invisible, but it s a single string, and it s at least an inch or two shorter than I d want it (not to mention actual long-string stuff). I really appreciate the weight of it, though, and the color (I got the purple, which is very much pink) is spectacular and exactly what I was looking for."

Great little fire eating wands!!
"I don t know why I ever bought the straight stick wand. The little loops provide a nice grip, a nice look, and a way to do little spins and weaves with these wands between eating. Since i don t do much in the way of vapor tricks, I find the little spins to be a nice way of filling out a set. I originally bought a single straight wand, but when I saw that these were cheaper, I went ahead and bought two it s been so worth it; I don t know why I ever got one without the ring in the first place. I do regret not getting longer wicks a little bit (one inch might be enough to do jellyfish transfers whereas these are too small), but these are extremely easy to eat off of: the perfect fire eating/on body fuel transfer wand for beginners and more advanced performers alike."
