Fire torches
Good morning juggling community! I lit my fire torches for the first time this weekend. I’ll call it a mild success I guess. PLENTY of drops but some solid runs on a cascade. I had fun and didn’t hurt myself or anyone else. So that’s the point right?
I read a lot of things, plenty of you have said. Mostly that it is difficult to see the handles. Which I assumed was because it’s dark, but realized it’s more so because the fire is blinding!
I practiced A LOT with the torches unlit before finally going for fire. One thing I noticed right away was the difference in flight when lit. I assume it’s cause by the flame dragging a little.
Does anyone have any tips or advice on something to tape to them or anything to simulate this for practice? Or any advice on juggling torches in general would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post! Happy juggling!
