Yep, and am gaining force by the day!It's not easy.It's much more than popping in music and going nuts. There is a whole business behind it from kissing the butts of fire marshalls, appropriate insurance and agents to taxes to costumes and routine rehearsals.I am lucky. I have three jobs.A few hours a week I work with reptiles (not including belly dancing with a snake).I write articles for emags and fictional stories for publication.I perform, not only fire but act, dance and sing.Trust me, there is nothing better than doing what I love, with people I love (my safeties are my best friends) for people who adore it.Nothing is better than that!------------------Pele Higher, higher burning fire...making music like a choir...https://www.pyromorph.com

I do a lot of entertainment type performing (juggling, Firestaff, unicycling, balloon sculpting).Not sure if this fits in with the original question as there are other non-fire things involved.Aslo (looks sheepish) I do have a day job, but some months the performing brings in more money than the day job (and a lot less hours!).You know you are entertaining people when you get paid to do it, and people keep asking you back, its a great buzz... grin grin grin grin ------------------Charles (INFERNO)newdolbel@hotmail.comhttps://juggling.co.nz

I'm just started getting into the fire entertaining bizness (firebreathing/Eating/Poi spinning)Its hard coz i've only had 2 short sessions where i've been taught what to do with firebreathing/eating/body burning but i'm not doing too bad.And i ive got my "professional" name sorted with biz cards and website and i am looking for fire ppl to to join me by hiring our services to clubs in the midlands(UK) while learning @ the time!I've done about 5 "proper" gigs now my second time with fire was in front of 800 ppl which i surprisingly wasn't that nervous.I hope that i can make a living from what i love to do (poi and fire)Because to tell u the truth i dont wanna be stuck behind a desk for the next 40yrs till i die that is my worst nightmare.I love to entertain ppl and i hope when i get better and more professional @ what i do i will hopefully make enough money to start up my own fire agency properly and never have to do "boring real" work ever again! ------------------www.fire4hire.co.uk - in constructionwww.ampcast.com/djmdma

Hello my name is Rich and I'm new to Tampa. I have spun fire for 2 years but off and on for 10 years. Looking to get better with people here. I had a great teacher. Maybe I can teach someday. Any ways I would like to inquire about going to south beach for a performance. I will practice with you every day and show you what I have. Call or text (210)286-1708 for a proper interview. I enjoy spinning fire. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks
