I've reposted this here, on suggestion, thinking it may be of interest to some.
"I'm an AVID supporter of sideshow stunts being taught in person, by professionals. (You know this) Please say you know this... BUUUUUUUUT. With the growing number of hippies and ravers diving into fire eating head first (and stealing a lot of gigs from pros up here-and everywhere too I know)...I'd rather NOT see anyone killed, maimed, scarred, or sued. It's bad for business. Agreed? There is NO way to stop it. It sucks, but such as life. Meet Carisa Hendrix. She's a great a girl. A real smart cookie, and a 'sideshow darling' from Vancouver (correction : Calgary). (Glass walk, Scissor Blockhead, BON, Fire) A few months ago she released a 'How to eat fire' dvd. I was VERY skeptical...but a friend said she was good on it, and I respect his opinion, so I chilled. You can see the promo for the dvd here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_waXDDsapE0 She uses animations & slow mo, photos of 'accidents', and most importantly...interviews paramedics, and the fire department, and covers every aspect of fuel and safety. I bring it up, because if the people desperate to learn are watching our friendly fire eating moron at expert village (*Paul Anderson*)...they may see this and get Carisa's DVD instead of courting disaster. YES learning from a DVD is BAD BAD BAD and NOT the preferred method.... HOWEVER. From what I've seen out there, this is THE most comprehensive, safety and technique oriented thing around*. Check out the video Carisa made for youtube about the fire eater from Expert Village here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gAiNLliT5Q Soooooo. Whoop, there it is. I feel like a hypocrite, but at the same time, I don't...ya feel me guys? PS: Wanted to add her blog article regarding this particular topic as well... http://carisahendrix.blogspot.com/2009/1......hat.html " Stay safe people. SS |
