I've had my fire phase
had the fire department called on more than 1 occasion. Never got badly burnt by it, although I did inhale a chlorine bomb once (oops)
Oh, and my brother accidentally stabbed me in the back of the knee with a burning stick - that really, really hurt

well not a pyro - but definetly into fire twirling..
Staff - poi - and devil sticks (these I have found quite hard to control on fire! - or control at all for that matter once they get some speed up!) ..
I did end up in hospital once after an "incident" at a party where someone left the lid off a bottle of accelerant..
Lesson one of fire performing.. always replace the lid and keep the liquids WELL away from the sticks/poi/whatever BEFORE they are lit.. (needless to say I wasn't the one responsible this time)..
You live in Brisbane?

only a little, i like seing things of fire/blowing up but im nto really a fan of doin the lighting/blowing up.
my mates are also a little scared of me.... see i like pain  People have a habbit of freaking out when i say "you know if you hit me i'll enjoy it". I also find pleasure/humor in hurting myself, half the time its not on purpose but anyway. I got smacked by a softball ball a few months back (2cms to the left and it would smacked dead centre haha lucky), i fell to the ground laughing my head off. the mates were a little freaked out by that one  The mates came up with the conclusion that im desterbed tonight after i decided it'd be amusing to hump a friend. (in non sexual way and with clothes on)

Devil sticks are nuts... I have these cool double poi at the moment, they are my nemisis, them and the behind the back weave...
I am not in brisbane but visit once or twice a year...normally go out and have a spin on one of the points in the cleveland area (alexandra maybe?).
You can't be too be careful with fuels. I was pouring kero into a 44 gallon drum one day, setting up for a fire. Some absoloute fuck stick (I don't normally resort to name calling, but well he was a fuck stick) decided to throw a match in. Needless to say I caught on fire, what happended next was scary...with a hand on fire i naturally jumped back from the flame and proceeded to spill the rest of the kero all over myself. In some complete fluke i spilt enough kero to actually smother the flame and extiguish it, only lost half my body hair!!

When I went up to Summernats my friends and I picked up about a $100 worth of crakers and rockets... I've used most of the crackers by throwing them round scaring my friends. 
One night my bro and I were driving back from the pub and had one cracker left in the car and decided to let it off at the park near my house.
When we went into the park's carpark there was a black E-Class Merc parked there. I swept the lights across the car to see if it was occupied... the windows were all fogged up.  We drove to the other end of the carpark to let it off in a coke can.
As I jumped back in the car the lights of the Merc went on and it proceded to follow us toward the exit. I turned right, so did the Merc... Then left, so did the Merc. He was about 75m back as I went through an amber light. He accelerated and went through the red about 5sec after it changed. 
At that stage I'm like WTF! I turned up the street next to mine and the Merc was at that stage about 2m off my bumper. I go to turn right toward my house and he drove on the wrong side of the road and cut me off! I then aborted my turn and went straight at full throttle to keep in front, and did. (7M powah!  )
I then lost him round some tiny back streets... We decided to hold off going home, so the guy wouldn't know where we live, and headed back to the main road. He was waiting there standing next to his car! He jumped back in and we flew past with our fingers up.
Moral of the story: Don't put your lights on cars with fogged windows and don't set off fireworks near people trying to have a root.

ive learnt my lesson about blowing things up...
2 years of good behaviour, 208 hours community service, massive fines and a crimo record for arson in the supreme court...
oh and the 12 month suspended sentence...
plenty of fun, but IF someone had have been injured i would have been in a WHOLE lot more trouble.
so i stay away from exploding objects these days.

OK, after careful consideration i have come to the conclusion that you are a bunch of psycho's. (No offense intended!!)
For those of you who are actually fire performers the above doesn't apply...But does anyone want to teach me to fire breath properly??? I can do it, but would be interested in talking to someone very experienced in order to get the tips of the trade.
I actually learned to fire breath one night while we were out spinning, had kero, had fire, figured how hard could it be? I have heard of different (safer) fuels being used (custard powder??? Which as i have video to prove turns into clag glue in your mouth and looks more like you are vommiting.) Any tips etc would be welcome!!
I also need to learn to juggle, I am the only one I know who can spin poi and staves who can't juggle...but the whole throwing and catching thing fucks me!!

dont swallow
but seriously, i didnt breath it much so probably cant give you many tips in that area
with juggling, definately juggle balls for a while until you are comfortable and confident with the standard cascade pattern. once you are happy with this, start throwing one club around, from one hand to the other, then two, mimicing the cascade with 1 club missing, then put it all together.
sounds easy? sort of, i practiced for about 20 mins each day at lunch at work for about 2 months until i was comfortable with it, but once you get it its buckets of fun.
at circus a while ago we did a 4 person feed (4 people passing 12 clubs around!)
worst part about the clubs is the fucking price. in one set of my clubs each club was $75, but you can get cheaper, as long as they are balanced properly
cheers

ahh, the anarchy cookbook
I remember when I was in year 10 and that was cool... it's got some really good stuff, but I know of more than 1 person who killed or seriously disfigured themselves trying to make that stuff.
People who dont really know what they're doing really really shouldn't play with highly flammable/explosive materials
alwaysRA23 - can I ask what you did to cop that dude?!

it's always dangerous when you give engineering students and creative people the instructions to the lemon launcher.
with a few stronger materials and some better propulsion, a frozen ornage launcher can be made, which punches holes in car doors

how about a pneumatic cannon that launches golf balls, ice slugs, potatos, marbles, water(fun), and anything else you can think of.
Golf balls go pretty hard with 100psi of air pressure behind them. Id guess maybe 4 hundred metres
