Pair of hand candles:
A reputable item from the manufacturer Gora. These hand candles are essential for a fire show where dance is omnipresent. Flames emerge suspended above your hands. This item can be combined with our body torches which attach to the arms or legs.
This item is perfect for a sophisticated fireshow.

The hand candles are ideal for a fiery dance performance. You don't need any technical juggling knowledge to use them. They will be perfect for a breathtaking visual effect!
Informations from the manufacturer Gora : Be careful when turning the lit wicks down.

Hello, how long should the wicks soak in the kerdan before lighting?
Soak Kevlar wicks
Simply soak the wicks. Just dip them in the container and then take them out. Less than 5 seconds should be enough. It's pretty intuitive, just the time it takes for the wicks to soak up. The Kevlar used is made from para-aramids, it's blown, which gives it excellent absorbent properties. If the Kevlar is new, use it once or twice before your performance, to give the Kevlar time to "break in."
The price is for a pair?
What is the price?
Yes, the price is for a pair (we do not sell them individually).
The question was about the packaging. The price we quote is for a pair (2 fire hands). We do not sell them individually.
Good morning,
1: Which "wick" should I buy on your site to replace the one I used? Is it easy?
2: My show lasts 2 minutes, follow it up with another one after, how do you turn off your hands?
Do you have any explanations or recommendations for lighting?
Thank you!
1. I recommend the 25mm Kevlar wick, 3mm thick . This is a cathedral bend of the wick.
2. Use a damp cloth to extinguish your wicks before the flame goes out on its own (use a cloth made of a non-flammable material).
Hello. I would like to buy a pair but I would like to know how the CB ignition works and how long the pair lasts. Do you need fuel?
Fire hands have a "burn time" that varies slightly depending on your style.
If you practice with fast movements, you will have about 3 minutes of ignition time (this is less than with fire bolas for example, the wicks are indeed smaller). If you have a broader and softer style, you will have about 4 minutes of "ignition".
As fuel, dearomatized petroleum is generally used, which is also found under the trade name Kerdan.If you have any further questions or would like further advice, please do not hesitate to contact us directly by telephone (our number is at the top of the site).
Hello, how long is the stem please?
Not including the wick: 9cm. Including the wick: 12.5cm!
