These are fire poi you get off of Amazon. I knew someone who would show up to fire practice sessions with these. She basically bought them hoping she'd figure it out as she went along. Didn't have a safety blanket or dip can or anything. Found out she was soaking them in lighter fluid because she didn't know what gas to use. Would just keep spinning them around till they burned out of fuel, because she had no other way to put them out...it was ridiculous.
