Fire Juggling

[qwinkly]

This is my younger son, James, juggling three fire torches (senior year pics).  He is actually juggling them.   The slow shutter speed did a fantastic job capturing the trailing effect !   Cool !   (I mean, HOT !)

That is so incredible! Seriously, how did you even allow him to do that though? I think my sister would like him. She's secretly something like a pyro.

First you have to learn to juggle 3 balls well. Then you progress to clubs or pins. They are pretty much a wooden dowel w hollow molded plastic around them. Not all that heavy, not very dangerous, but if you hit a collarbone/shoulder bone/cheekbone, by accident when they all come crashing down, or you smack a knuckle juggling thing them, then they hurt. There's even a standard joke jugglers often use: "They're called juggling pins. Until you drop three on your head. Then they're clubs

That is extensive. I find people who can juggle period impressive.

I wasn't allowed to even mess with lighters and just figured out how to use one last year. I googled 'fire poi' and watched a video. My sister was sitting next to me, leaned over said, "I want fire sticks." That'd be a no. I don't trust her that much.

Also, I like you. You're funny:)
