🔥 Quick Guide – Charcoal & Fire Juggling
1️⃣ Choosing Charcoal
Wood charcoal → easy to find, cheap, short and plentiful sparks
Hookah charcoal → even, little prep, steady burn
✅ Test several types and sizes to adjust burn time (1 to 15 min) and visual effect
✅ Choose high quality for an even burn and little smoke
2️⃣ Piece Size
Preparation:
Break with a hammer (wrapped in a cloth)
Sort:
< 1 cm → more sparks, shorter burn
Large pieces → fewer sparks, longer burn
💡 Mix sizes for a custom effect
3️⃣ Preparing the Cages
Fill 60–70% (airflow + correct weight)
Balance both sides
Close the cages securely
Preheating: torch 15–30 min or fire

TIPS & SAFETY
🔥 Before lighting up
- Master juggling without fire before moving on to fire.
- Practice sober, focused and prepared.
- Wear 100% cotton or wool clothing, tie back long hair and remove jewelry.
- Keep a damp towel or fire blanket within reach.
🌬️ During practice
- Practice outdoors, in a clear, non-flammable space.
- Keep a safe distance and stay aware of the people around you.
- Avoid strong wind.
- Put out your wicks before they are completely dry.
🛢️ Fuel
- Use only suitable fuel: dearomatized kerosene or liquid paraffin. Never gasoline or alcohol.
- Spin off excess fuel before lighting and close the container after use.
- Store fuel away from the audience.
- Never soak the Technora rope or silicone parts.
🛠️ Care
- Golden rule: never let wicks go out against the ground, especially braided ones. It seriously damages the Kevlar.
- Juggle on grass rather than asphalt whenever possible.
- Screwed-in wick worn out (after 1 to 2 years depending on use)? Unscrew it, turn it over and screw it back in: it's good for several more months.
- Clean your grip from time to time with a damp sponge and a cloth.
- Let props cool down before storing them and check your equipment regularly.
⚠️ Responsibility: fire juggling is a high-risk activity. Each user is fully responsible for their own practice and safety.
