1) do a search for sparkly poi. This question has been asked several thousand times before.2) Almost always untoasted, but I had them toasted today. Everyday, I usually have room temp Pop-Tarts, and a Cherry Coke [image]https://www.homeofpoi.com/ubb/images/icons/wink.gif">.-PSM------------------[/image]-Alphonse Bertillon

That toasted-tart question is just begging for a ribald reply, but that would be too obvious.

Sparkley poi are nothing more than steel wool burned inside of a cage. I've seen peeps do it and it really is quite impressive. The bits continue to burn when they hit the ground, so you'll need to find a big open parking lot or a beach or something like that to avoid setting something on fire. A pair of good safety goggles probably wouldn't be a bad idea either.-p.

Phyzerium,In the video you saw, I was using 8 sparklers attached to each poi (single wicked tube-core fire poi). You can use steel wool, but i haven't seen anyone using steel wool that could match the effect of a bunch of sparklers.I don't wear any extra safety equipment when using sparkly poi, but for obvious reasons, it's a good idea not to do any moves where the poi are spinning on a plane that intersects your body. I normally keep it to the weave and the many variations of. That way, anything that flies off the poi/sparklers will not come towards you. Also make sure you don't have any uncovered fuel in the area.Have fun with it.ÐraevonIncendium

I shall answer question #2 first:i cook my pop tarts with sparklers... then i feed them to the dog. then the dog craps them out. i pooper-scooper it up into a plastic baggie, then mail it back to Kelloggs, because i despise pop tarts so much, that id rather be ass-raped by a 900lb silverback gorilla, while bieng forced to watch Barney the Dinosaur, than willingly eat a pop tart...and question #1) beats me...Super'------------------"Only the warrior that hears the call will know when to leave, Where to go" -unknown"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams"- Willy Wonka
