The show begins with one entertainer and can expand with a variety of guest artists from all over the entertainment and sideshow worlds.

 

Fire eating vs. Fire Breathing: Fire eating is the art of manipulating flame, the signature move of which is to extinguish the torch using one's mouth. Traditionally a fire eater will breathe fire as well, but not always. Fire breathing is seldom performed by itself. It is spectacular, but very brief. Even with a mouth full of fuel, doing multiple expulsions, the fire breathing only lasts 30 seconds to a minute in most shows. A fire eating act (or fire breathing act) can last between 4 and 10 minutes depending on the performer, and it still involves fairly spectacular stunts. For this reason it is actually more expensive to limit the performance to fire breathing, since it involvers swallowing more of the toxic fuel, and is more hazardous for the performer.

Fire Breathing + Fire Eating (and/or fire dancing): Each performer can provide up to three performances of 4-8 minutes each during the course of the hour.

Fire Breathing only: Each performer can breath fire up to four times per night, maybe five if there are shorter sets.  Each fire breathing set will last between one and four minutes (safety factors such as wind, crowd control, and performance space will effect the duration).

All quotes include all props, professional costume, and safety equipment, as well as a trained assistant to perform as a fire safety during any fire performances.

Note on Permits: All fire permits are the responsibility of the venue.
