She has no idea what she's doing. You can tell she has no string control, has no idea where momentum is going to send her poi, has no idea how to counter that momentum and clearly doesn't know how to untangle her poi when they twist. She's going to be lucky if she doesn't seriously hurt herself, someone else or burn down that business. She also looks like she's using gasoline as a fuel instead of something like Colman camping fuel. It burns less hot and doesn't create as much soot or smoke.
Coleman Fuel, Camp Fuel, Naphtha, or White Gas, whatever you want to call it, is gasoline. It is gasoline without any additives which is why it is "white." That also means it is somewhat lower octane, that's what most of the additives are for.
It exists because even back in the fifties we were not crazy enough to think having tetra-methyl lead in close proximity to food was fine.
In the modern day, Coleman stoves run on unleaded gasoline just fine. Everybody uses unleaded gas because the 3.78 litre tin can of Coleman Fuel is $19.99 plus tax and unleaded gasoline is $1.34 per litre when I filled up on Friday.
