Fire Fly
Fire Fire Fly was designed for dancers, but can be used as a fun flow prop for manipulation! The Fire Fly is a little fire head on a thin chain connected together between two spring cages made of steel. There are two different spring cages with different length of chain.
The Fire Fly can also be used as a “mono poi” if desired. The spring cages are fixed to the fingers with a leather loop. The size of the loop is adjustable with its screw to suit anyone’s finger. The prop is ultra lightweight at only 5 ounces! Be sure to keep the leather loop away from paraffin. If it sucks up some paraffin accidently, do not use the Fire Fly!
For a fun new prop to play around with or even to incorporate into a performance, the Fire Fly is an excellent addition with a small learning curve!
