Hey Steve,
Like yourself I'm a regular fire flair artist. What I've been doing lately
(bartop permitting) it running a piece of string along the bar that's soaked
in lighter fuel. I place a couple of glasses along it to keep the string
taught. At the begining of the show I ignite the string and the whole bar goes
up in a thin line of fire, which lasts for about 2 mins. A great starter to
the show.
I also have been organising someone to have a cigarette at the end of the
show, so after all the fireworks I simply end up lighting a guys fag. It can
be quite amusing..
Later
Jay
