Firemancer - Fire Dancers and Blacklight Performance Artists FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)Category: Main -> 0
 Answer |  That's not real fire... is it?!?Actually, yes... And it's quite hot! [ Back to Top ]
| | Don't you burn yourself? Only if we make a mistake. [ Back to Top ]
| | How do you keep your long, healthy hair from burning? Very, very carefully.
Actually we use a highly specialized conditioning product. It's chemical composition of one part oxygen, binded with two parts hydrogen, is found to be particularly effective in protecting our hair from burning. But it still happens. [ Back to Top ]
| | How do you move like that? These unique skills take time, patience, and practice to develop. More than anything else, though, it requires an open mind allowing one to think outside the box. Anything is possible. [ Back to Top ]
| | Can you perform without fire? In situations where fire is not possible or desired, special costumes and dance props can be used which radiate light by chemical, electrical, laser, or blacklight technology. [ Back to Top ]
| | What kind of risk is really involved? From our double-fastened prop designs to our site inspection, our costumes and safety crew, we take redundant safety measures for any possible complication. In all our years, we have never encountered a situation we couldn't perform through safely. Each performer carries the required liability insurance covering up to $2M. [ Back to Top ]
| | How much do you charge? We love what we do. However, performing professionally and on-demand requires a lot of commitment, preparation, investment, and hard work. And with insurance, costumes, makeup, props, fuel, and safety gear we have expenses we need to cover.
Our rates vary depending on the show scale and skills requested, the amount of equipment and preparation needed, and whether it’s a weekend, holiday, or particularly busy season for us. Because our shows are so flexible, we can accommodate most any budget--from cirque productions ($20k) to back-yard party entertainment ($150). Contact us to request a quote for your particular event. [ Back to Top ]
| | Do your shows travel? Absolutely. Most all our gear accompanies us by plane. We then acquire any needed fuels and supplies upon arrival. [ Back to Top ]
| | I need someone right away! Can you help me out? Quite often, yes. Use our online booking request system and contact us right away. We are prepared to act quickly and will help however we can. [ Back to Top ]
| | How do you have a green flame? or blue? purple? red? By dissolving particular chemical ions into our liquid propane and other fuels, we affect the frequecy of the energy (light) emitted during combustion. By focusing toward specific frequencies, we can produce distinctly colored flames of varying intensity and effect. Firemancer uses these much like a painter's palette in our live performance and installation art. [ Back to Top ]
