it's annoying that my parents stop me from making acid bombs, shooting potatoes, grapes and oranges, and they don't like me twirling all over the place with flames on my staff, hmmmh...
i hope i can convince them...

my parents stop me from making acid bombs,
To be honest, that doesn't suprise me.
My mum hates watching me spin fire. My stepdad and dad are fine with it, but it freaks my mum out. Especially when I do any contact.
I almost gave her a heart attack when I dropped my staff from a rooftop at a gig I did in Morocco.
You need to talk to them about them about saftey. LEarn the neccesary saftey precautions and information (found here , here and here. Main index of safty found here) and then show them that you know what you are doing.
Show them that you are comopetant enough to spin your staff with no fire.
Hopefully, they should see that you know what you are doing and let you get on with it. Whatever you do, don't loser your temper over it.
By the way, how old are you?

It took me ages to convince my mum to let me spin fire, but when I finally got her to take me to a spin jam so that others could help me with my first time, she couldn't get enough of it. If they won't let you, just demonstrate how proficient you are with staff, and get experienced people to tell them that you're pretty good. If all else fails, just whine a whole lot

greetings my little minion Me and my brother both play with fire so our parent are ALWAYS REALLY FREAKED OUT (i don't know why i used capital letters THERE) i have a comment to people who use cittronella as a fuel...cittronella is used to repel bugs at bbqs and such so it might have pestisides that could be quite dangerous.....BUT IT SMELLS BETTER THEN KERO (woohoo randomness) *HISSSSSSSSSSSSS*

Huh?
Citronella is horrible stuff.
Smells horrible, and gives of this weird smoke. Parrafin is much better
