Preparing the torch:

First of all, fill the reservoir with lycopodium powder ( not supplied) using a small funnel for example. When soaking your wick in flavorless oil, be sure not to wet the powder. NetJuggler recommends that you use a pipette for example.

Until you use the torch, you should keep it in an upright position, so that the powder does not spill.

How do I get the fireball effect?

The thin powder will come out of the torch, onto the flame, thanks to the effect of centrifugal force when you spin around with the torch pointed outwards. It will form a fireball around you that will hold a bit before dissipating. Make sure you are away from people and animals.

A full torch (300g of lycopodium) makes about 15 fireballs. You can put between 100 and 300g of powder in the tank.

Safety:

Any use of fire equipment requires a safe distance between you and your audience. Lycopodium powder having a significant fireball effect, increase the safety distances that you are used to practicing. Stand at least 7 meters away from your audience.
