Fire and sparks poi
Item sold in pairs, without steel wool or fuel, to be purchased separately .
Bolas equipped with baskets and Kevlar:
This material will allow you to make a flames + sparks combo. What a way to end a show in style. If you practice the arts of fire professionally, this material allows you to take a step forward, with a more impressive rendering than just with fire. The cages or baskets that you are going to spin are to be equipped with steel wool . By burning the steel wool, you will manage sparks. When the bolas are set in motion, the steel wool in contact with the wind will make very large sparks.
NetJuggler's take on bolas:
Beautiful manufacture, with clean finishes. The structure is welded then covered with protective fine mesh. Be careful though, to use this type of material, protect yourself well, avoid synthetic clothing at all costs. We offer protective accessories on our site: Kevlar gloves , Kevlar hat etc...
Best results are achieved with this model using a combo of charcoal and some steel wool. However, it is important to note that the use of this material is very technical. If you're not a specialist, you may have great difficulty in obtaining reliable results, while professionals achieve remarkable performance: frustrating isn't it. This requires some experience and technical mastery. You should not expect to obtain satisfactory results without prior practice and experience. In addition, the cage of this model is particularly small, which makes it a less suitable accessory for learning.

I tried putting the steel wool in the basket but it doesn't ignite. What should I do?
And yes, it's not easy to get good results. It's technical. You can use a combination of steel wool and charcoal to make it easier to use. Sometimes steel wool works better without cages, simply attached to the end of bolas.... But be careful, it really flies everywhere. It's a very dangerous practice. But it's technical and, apart from training, it's not easy to get good results.
Hello. Can we also use charcoal with this attack?
Yes, you can also use charcoal with this apparatus.
Good morning,
Does Kevlar need to be soaked in fuel like conventional bolas?
Can the cage come into contact with fuel?
Should the wool be lit or will it ignite on its own?
Kevlar soaks like normal fire material. Steel wool does not need to be soaked. Steel wool ignites automatically with the flame of the Kevlar wick.
