Hello there, welcome! Sphism/gigglesmiley :57

Howdoo!

Riiight oonn,I love tea bags. Never used them (being 14 and thus under parents rule) so I have no advice to offer on that subject. Obviously be more careful than you would normally seeing as those are supposed to be uber dangerous. But hell, you only live once :11

sorry i cant offer any steel wool advice...but thought i'd just say hi anyways... Sphism/gigglesmiley

so where exactly is the armpit of the universe btw? Sphism/tonguesmiley

i can offer some advice for steel wool
be bloody careful!!!!!!!

for more have a look at me website there are lots of ways of doing sparks, using baked bean cans, whisky tins and allsorts, i use cages, probably the best of a bad bunch of nasty mutilating toys
for pics and advice see the articles section under news on
www.fieldsoffire.cjb.net
buy some safety goggles :11

*edited as i just saw the moshing smiley and had to add it*

hey there, welcome to the land of circles. a lot less dangerous then wirewool are poi which have hot coals in cages. heat them up, spin them, and sparks fly out. the range of the sparks is far less than wirewool. seen them used in spain by a guy in bear feet with no tshirt. no idea unfortunately where to get hold of them. good luck!

(pessimistic mood soz)

seeing as this person last posted in JUL04 and only posted asking for help on this one subject I think I would be safe in assuming placing a hello would be pointless as they are not gonna come back to post and have prolly forgotten about |s| =s

However If I am wrong (does happen quite a lot ffs) Hey there.

pardon us for not checking the stats Sphism/tonguesmiley

yeah *shakes fist* =p lol soz about that, cant even remember what i was pissed at then =s im not usually like that!! promise!! =p

Hi, yes, we were tying it. I just dont remember the no. of the type of that wool. Have to ask. But best i know, would be some little back made of some wire net on the end. It is necesarry to have non plastic dress (of course) allaround the body, cuz peaces of the wool can burn into your skin if you not defend. It is necesarry to be carful because of the people around allso, hold save distance from the others and flamable materials too.
The effect doesnt last for a long time.

Ok, The wool no. 2-4. 2 goes of really fast but makes a good effect, 4 lasts longer, but it is not sparlkling to much. no. 3 was recomended. Sphism/winksmiley
