Product description

Fire Eight Ring is finally here. Magnetic and foldable, it collapses down for travel and locks back together through a magnetic connection. Built like the rest of our fire range – aluminum body, polycarbonate handle, 10 mm Kevlar rope held by our own Kevlar clips for fast and easy replacement. The most demanding prop in our fire line, made for skilled fire artists ready to take the eight ring into flame.

Please read our fire safety instructions before spinning.

Protect your hair and scalp from flames during fire spinning. Durable, fire-resistant, and perfect for advanced performers. Stay safe and stylish!

Protect your arms without sacrificing mobility during fire spinning. Durable, flame-resistant, and designed for safety and comfort. Stay protected!

Keep your Fire Eight Ring in top shape. From durable Kevlar ropes to extra bolts and nuts, we’ve got you covered.

What is an Eight Ring?

The eight ring is an isolation prop, two rings joined in a figure eight. Spun in the hands, the rings can be made to look like they multiply, float, or hang motionless while everything around them turns.

Foldable and magnetic. The eight ring folds flat for travel and locks together with magnets for spinning. Compact in your bag, solid in your hands.

Custom Kevlar clips. We designed our own system for securing the Kevlar rope to the aluminum body. It holds firmly under heat and can be swapped when the rope wears out, using an Allen key and wrench we include with every replacement set.

Aluminum body, polycarbonate handle. The same build trusted across our fire range. Rigid where it needs to be, balanced for control, made to take repeated heat and use.

The most demanding prop we make. On the eight ring the flame sits closer to your body and burns fuller than anything else in our line. That puts real demands on your control. This one is built for skilled fire artists, not a first fire prop.

Factors Affecting Burn Time

Burn time for Fire Eight Ring is influenced by a variety of factors. Understanding these elements can help you achieve the best performance and ensure safety. Read on for a detailed breakdown of what affects your burn time:

  • Size of Kevlar: Thicker kevlar ropes, like 16mm, tend to burn longer and produce a richer flame.
  • Condition of Kevlar: Well-maintained kevlar, free from fraying or wear, burns more efficiently and evenly.
  • Type of Fuel: Different fuels have varying burn rates and temperatures, affecting how long the fire lasts.
  • Amount of Fuel: More fuel generally results in a longer burn time, but it can also affect flame size and safety.
  • Weather Conditions: Temperature and wind significantly impact burn time; wind can affect flame size and unpredictability, while cold temperatures can affect fuel performance.
  • Tricks and Movements: The speed and type of tricks performed – sudden movements and high-speed spins – can alter how quickly the fuel is consumed.

Fire safety

Fire spinning is a hazardous activity by definition. The only way to totally avoid harm is to avoid spinning with fire. However, using proper safety gear, such as our Kevlar sleeve and Kevlar hat, can significantly reduce the risk of injury. With that in mind, here are some strategies for minimizing the hazards it presents:

Make sure you have no loose kevlar that’s coming off the wick. If there are stray threads, cut them off with a strong pair of scissors before you use them. Next, check your fire buugeng for any loose parts.

Finally, are you in good mental and physical condition? Are you alert and focused? It’s preferable to be safe than sorry, so honesty is the best policy.

Another thing to consider: mixing alcohol or drugs and fire spinning is not a good idea. Things can go horribly wrong for everyone if one mistake is made, and they’re more likely to occur when your judgment is clouded.

What you wear while fire spinning is important. You want natural fibers that are loose fitting and won’t melt to your skin if they catch on fire. Wool, cotton, and leather are all good choices.

Avoid man-made fibers like polyester, nylon, and spandex. They will melt and stick to your skin if they catch on fire, potentially causing serious burns.

And of course, avoid loose clothing that could catch on fire. If you have long hair, tie it back so it doesn’t become a liability. The bottom line is to use common sense and be as safe as possible. With a little bit of care, you can enjoy fire spinning for years to come.

There are a variety of fuels you can use for fire spinning. The most common is lamp oil (in Europe) or Naphtha, also called White Gas or Coleman Fuel (in the United States). All fuels vary in their flash point (the temperature at which they ignite), burning temperature, and burning time.

Never use gasoline! It’s extremely flammable and burns much hotter than the other fuels, making it very dangerous.

Before you start spinning, you need to fuel the Kevlar rope. For Fire Fan we suggest pouring the fuel on the kevlar rope. Goal is to put enough fuel to soak the rope without it dripping the fuel. If you can see fuel dripping off the wick, there’s too much. You want a happy medium where the wick is saturated but not dripping.

Once the wick is saturated, give it a minute to soak in before lighting. This will help prevent the flame from going out as soon as you start spinning.

A safety spotter is someone who watches you while you’re spinning and is there to help if anything goes wrong. It’s always good to have at least one spotter, but more is always better.Β They should be familiar with the basics of fire safety and first aid, in case they need to put out a fire or tend to a burn.

The spotter’s job is to make sure you have enough room to spin, watch for any hazards that might come into the area, and be ready to put out a fire or help if something goes wrong. They should also be familiar with your routine so they know when to expect you to stop spinning and how to help if you need it.

It’s important to have a set of signals between you and your safety spotter so they know when to start and stop spinning, and what to do if something goes wrong.

Now that you’re all fueled up and have a safety spotter, you’re ready to start spinning! The first thing to do is light the wick. Once it’s lit, give it a few seconds to get going before you start spinning. This will help prevent the flame from going out as soon as you start moving.

Now you’re ready to start your routine. Remember to stay aware of your surroundings and be careful not to get too close to people or things that can catch on fire. If something does catch on fire, stop spinning and put it out immediately.

Once you’re done spinning, extinguish the flame with a safety blanket. And that’s it! With a little practice, you’ll be spinning like a pro in no time. Just remember to always be safe and have fun!

FAQ

Fire Fans are the more traditional choice. They are symmetrical, which makes them easier to learn and forgiving for beginners, since you don’t need to worry about the orientation of the prop in your hand. Many spinners enjoy them for their balance, flow, and accessibility.

Fire Halfgeng, on the other hand, offers a more unique and unconventional visual style thanks to its asymmetry. This means you need to be more aware of how the prop is oriented in your hand, as it changes the appearance of your tricks. For many performers, this challenge creates striking and original patterns on stage.

Our Fire Fans share the same design DNA as our Fire Buugeng and Fire Halfgeng – built from 5 mm aluminum for strength and balance, with a unique Kevlar rope attachment system for easy maintenance. They’re designed to be durable, repairable, and visually striking.

Each fan is crafted from 5 mm aluminum, with a polycarbonate handle that withstands heat up to 110 Β°C and 16 mm Kevlar rope, attached to the aluminum frame with our custom-developed Kevlar fastening system.

On average, you can expect a burn time of around 2–3 minutes, depending on fuel type and spinning style.

There are many free fan spinning tutorials available online. We recommend checking out the tutorials shared by Deka Lissa, who regularly posts techniques and inspiration for all levels of fan spinners.
