This gives the widest diameter of spin without constant danger of the staff hitting the ground.

It is of course also possible to spin two long staffs at once, and you gain a visual aspect, whilst losing a few of the tricks from each of single long staff, and dual short staffs.Īlso see Purchasing details below for buying a ready made fire staff.Ī Long staff will probably be between 4 and 6 feet long.

If you like one, you will probably take up both eventually, so don't worry about which one to go for first. Short staffs do however bring the flame a lot closer to your body, making burns are more ready danger. Two short staffs look more complex, but almost seem less 'dangerous' due to the longer staffs constant intertwining around your body. A longer staff spins a lot slower due to its length and weight, but the wide diameter of its spin more than make up for this. The main differences are a matter of how they look to an audience, and the speed. You want to be able to do all the tricks in either hand, and you will start out with only one staff whether you go for two or not, so don't make a selection based on lack of dexterity in one hand. The first question you need to answer is whether you intend on using two shorter staffs, or one long staff.
