Using sparkling poi is NOT for ameteurs, but is an art form that should only be used by professionals. However, it appears it's the latest rage with teens to young adults. There is no sense in me telling you how dangerous it is and that more people than you think get second or third degree burns, so at least wear safety gear!

It's steel wool.. sometimes actual fireworks are used. Both are dangerous and should *not* be used casually. Fireworks are not altogether reliable, and steel wool is a bunch of tiny molten bits of metal flying in all directions, including straight up and then back down upon your head. Yes, molten steel raining down on you...

If packed right, steel wool does not need white gas. The oxygen will feed the fire enough to burn without fuel. The usual method is to pack the steel wool into a metal cage. Often, it will be packed into a metal cylinder with a cage ending. This will prolong the show as the steel wool rests in the cylinder and feeds into the cage where it burns. The cage is often built of chickenwire or something similar. You'll probably want to wear eye protection and something to cover your skin and head. NEVER try this on your own! Wear proper protective gear!

How do you do the Butterfly Poi move?

This strikingly pretty move can be a real bear when you're getting started. Start by spinning both poi in the same direction to your sides. Slowly angle both poi in so that they are spinning on a flat plane in front of you. Now bring your hands closer and closer together. The poi must be slightly offset so that they don't strike one another, but the less offset they are, the more impressive the move will look. Bring your hand all the way together while maintaining the spin. Once your hands are touching, move them up and down together and the poi will continue to spin beautifully.
