A fire dancer throwing up a cloud of cinders. This is done by smashing a bundle of metal wires with some kind of burning substance inside against the ground. The bundle is hooked up to a 3-4 ft chain which the dancer holds and spins at a high speed, one in each hand. Every time the bundle hits the ground, a cloud of cinders rises up to 20 ft up in the air. This can only be repeated a couple of times before all the fuel has been used up.
