Fuel
Many times I've been asked to do a show for a group of people with fire. Most all spinners have. But people don't realize that we need a special fuel! The best fuel to use is generally paraffin or kerosene, spinning with petroleum or fire starting fluid or something of the like is dangerous! Why is this? The latter have a low burn threshold, that is the fumes can ignite just as easily as the gas! However, the former are generally burned for a long duration, and frequently indoors!
In addition to household fuels, there are also specialized fuels for spinning, most of which involve colored flame. Colored flames are a joy to spin with, but boy, are they expensive! Colored flame packs generall run about $30.00 USD

coleman's camping fuel 50/50 with tiki lamp fuel is the best imo (and all the burners in my area). On your form, you're looking really good for a year. Have you found Nick Woolsey's site yet? playpoi.com His move vids are geat but most importantly I'd direct you to his poi-fu videos. They seem boring but taking a step back and realllly working on your arm flexibility and posture will make those 'advanced' flowers and all sorts of things you might see as past your level possible within a month or two no lie.
