From UK prop designers come these smart Kevlar® gloves - ideal for protecting against cuts and flames - these gloves come with elasticated wrists.These are really useful when juggling with Fire balls and all fire products in general. Suitable for juggling with fire balls for longer duration. (If slightly damp they will keep cool even longer).

Kevlar® is a para-aramid fibre made by Du Pont which has remarkable properties. Used in thousands of diverse products and industries. Kevlar is extremely tough, it does not melt, it is self-extinguishing, it is flame resistant and it will withstand temperatures up to 425° C continuously. Kevlar is used in safety protection clothing where heat and flame resistance or cut and slash protection is required. However please note: Kevlar offers only limited heat insulation, therefore gloves and sleeves will only protect from high temperatures for short periods of contact. The heavier the weight of the Kevlar glove or sleeve, the more high temperature insulation is given. They are perfect for juggling with fire balls or indeed any fire performance where there might be a risk of burns

Our body torches are a unique prop for fire dancers and acrobats. They create a wonderful set with our hand candles, which are similar in design.

The difference is that the body torches can be attached to different parts of your body. They have a different attachment method, have a longer wire and a larger head. It is also possible to use the body torches as a hand candle.

The thick leather circle protects the body from the heat of the flames. The Kevlar head is attached to a flexible spring wire which ensures that it doesn’t break or bend when hit by a force. This design supports durability and channels less heat towards your body.

The body torches are fastened to your body with a velcro, so you can take them off with a single movement if necessary. The body torches can be attached to your upper and lower arms and ankles.

Prices are for a pair.

Usage recommendations:

• Read and follow fire safety requirements for clothing, this is especially important in case of body torches! For example, if you use the body torches on your legs, it is of uttermost importance that you wear either nothing on your legs, or relatively thick, fire safe materials which align with your legs and are not loosely floating. Also, never ever wear polyester or any fibers containing plastics.
• Always check the wind direction. Don’t use the body torches when the wind is strong, and take into account the wind direction in case of any wind at all – it can blow the flames towards your body.
• Thoroughly test your choreography, especially acrobatics to understand which moves channel the flames and heat towards your body.

• No fuel should get on the leather parts.
• Do not store your body torches in a closed bag, as the fuel might evaporate and eventually soak the leather parts, creating a fire hazard!
• After use, wait until the torches cool down, then store in a bag with some ventilation.
• Be careful when you hold the torches upside down!

It is made mainly for dancers, but it can be used as a nice magic trick or for manipulation.

The Fire Fly is a little fire head on a thin chain connected together between two spring cages made of steel.

There are two different spring cages with different lengths of chains.

It can also be used as a "mono poi" when open and has an adjustable length. The spring cages are fixed to the fingers with a leather loop. The size of the loop is changeable with its screw to suit anyone's finger.

It's a light toy, weighing only 150g.

- Do not use the loop too tight, you have to take it off easily on your own in case of emergency.

- Keep the leather loop away from paraffin. If it sucks up some paraffin accidentally, DO NOT USE the Fire Fly!
