And thank you! The scythe was a random thought I had, and it's the only fire tool (other than large-scale computer controlled propane flame effects) that I play with. It's made from an old Army Surplus scythe, and I just kevlar wicked the blade after a serious dull-down. As for how it actually spins/how you spin it....see video! Bloody thing is 12lbs though, so it's a serious workout swinging it around, lol.

Fire Scythe Spinning

Oh god 12 lbs would kill my fingers ><

My old staff was really lightweight, about 3/4inch thick and 5ft long with kevlar wicks coiled at each end. I had to keep the staff really lightweight because not only did I pass it around my hand, but through my fingers aswell if I wanted some really fast rotations in there D: My middle finger (poor bird) would be so bruised at the end of a show since the staff would keep passing mainly over that one ><

Breathing is FUN! Though it sucks if you accidentally swallow a little fuel, your burps taste of it for the next week hahaha
