Tika powder
Tika Powder
Tika is the ally of fire artists seeking intense visual sensations. It offers a bright, controllable and visually striking burn. A natural alternative to lycopodium, it breathes a mystical spirit into your choreographies, between sacred fire and spellbinding illusion.
A few usage tips:
Use a bottle or suitable container to fill your props.
Pour the powder into your tube, let it settle naturally, and fill to 5 to 10 cm from the top.
Don't pack the powder into the tube, it could stop some of it from coming out properly.
Wearing a mask and safety glasses is recommended when handling the powder (transferring and filling).
Ideally use a 2.5 cm diameter tube with a 7 cm Kevlar wick for the best effect.
For bigger flames, a 3 cm diameter tube is recommended (the video in the listing was made with the 3 cm Kana Tika).
Make large circular movements to spread the powder well.
Particle size is 0.01 mm
Good to know:
1 kg of lycopodium equals 3 liters.
1 kg of tika powder equals 5 liters.

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.
