Steel cage filled with magnesium ribbons. =) ::runs to chemistry lab and yanks all magnesium::: Think about it, the brightest light you have ever seen, on poi heads... doing crazy circles. You would spin this like steel wool of course, nothing too complicated. What do you guys think?

Woah now don't get too frustrated were just trying to help. The last time I got frustrated I ended up in the hospital. That's when you feel dumb. I'm trying to share my old mistakes to keep others from repeating them. Do the tests first, build your way up to spinning them. Third degree burns really suck.... for a long time.....believe me, not a cool scar.

He said hed show you a video of him spinning magnesium doing leg wraps... He never said hed still have legs when hes done
For the record, I dont think its a great idea but if yer confident you can do it safely, go for it. Ill let you do all the work on testing em though before I give em a go

bizzare, i was totally thinking about this in chemistry the other day, it would be awsome in someways, but really dangerous, you would probaly have to do it completely blindfolded as well, unless you wanted to go blind, it would be difficult to watch as well, but would be crazy cool from a distance
if anyone feels stupid enough to try this tell me how it goes> if you live through it that is

ok. wouldn' t the intense light make sure that no one sees what you're doing... they would only see "something bright, moving around a bit" from theair distance.
right?

Yeah, just imageine. The blinding white lights followed by all those blue flashing ones. Wow that would be an awsome spectacle.
The audience might be put of by the smell of molten flesh but they'll probably be more concerned about the lines burned into their retinas.
Oooh yeah, sign me up for that. Then for a finali i'll have a quick spin on some thermite poi. YEAH, bring it on

To elaborate for {SAFE}, the blue flashing ones are accompanied by flashing red ones and sirens, and maybe a Helicopter in the states.

silly children of today , who are their role models ??? certainly not me , a blind old legless individual who cant spin fire to save or finish his life !
hahaha imagine if this was all real ??? tutuman DONT do it ! its insane , you'll end up like this guy i know , who's old and legless and blind , and he cant spin fire cause .... he's old and legless , and blind .
ciao

Small time research done through google taking me about 15 mins please look at these links
link1
link2 this link gives you info on putting out fires involving magnesium.
link3 read the second paragraph of Health effects of magnesium
link4 again another link to remind you never to use water on a magnesium fire.
OK in posting these links I am not implying that you haven't done any research as I'm sure you have. You would be crazy if you hadn't. This is an open forum for all to read and the hazards need to be pointed out to those who are crazy!
