Oooh, pretty-swirly-burny-things!

On a more cheerful note, check out this outrageously cool fire poi picture that I found from a link ali_anarres posted in someone else's journal.

Update: Oh. My. God.
(apparently metal cages stuffed with wire wool and ignited make interesting fire poi... good lord)

The guy who taught me to fire-breathe recommended having a couple of wet towels/blankets on hand to smother things.

I know nothing about poi, but you'd have to be trying reasonably hard to set yourself on fire while firebreathing. Probably involving spilling a sizeable amount of paraffin (?) on yourself, then holding a flame to it.
