learning the staff

basically im new with this whole fire kind of stuff. but what im interested in is the staff. ive been trying to practice on my own but i doubt im anywhere near as good as the rest of you.

#1 ive been practising with a broom stick and i need to buy a staff but im not sure where to go and i really dont want to use the internet.

#2 i think im gonna need an instructor or maybe a video that teaches some tricks. do any of you know of anything like that

#3 if anyone lives near downtown toronto in ontario canada. Id be more than happy to pay you to teach me to using this properly and to make it as most entertaining as possible

first off,

staffing is great fun, so nice one

broom sticks are just fine for practise, and its good to have loads and loads of practise before you set anything on fire.

get some towel, cut it up and wrap it round the ends of the pole to make it heavier, it will spin alot easier if it has more momentum.

get some grip, staff will condition your hands, a good cushioned grip to start with will help loads.

there are loads and loads of vids available.

very best of luck to you.

come back and let us know how you go, ask loads and loads of questions, try anything, anything at all with your sticks - there is no right way but there are fundamentals that it helps to learn so you can figure out how to break them

all the best
