Juggling is fun and entertaining. If you want to impress your family and friends, then juggle flaming torches. Of course, only experienced jugglers should juggle flaming torches. Follow these steps to juggle flaming torches.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• Three or more torches for juggling
• Fuel
• Fire extinguisher
• Small cup
• Extra long fire starter

1. Pick a fuel for your torches. There are many types of fuel that are available on the market for you to use. The best kind of fuel to use is charcoal lighter fluid. You can find it almost anywhere at a reasonable price.
2. Find an outdoor place to practice away from enclosures and buildings. The last thing you want to do is set anything on fire. The best places are your backyard, driveway or asphalt.
3. Practice juggling. After you have picked and purchased your torches you need to practice juggling. Do not light your torches when you are first leaning to juggle torches. This will help you to get a feel for the torches. Do not move on to flaming torches until you have mastered juggling them when they are not lit.
4. Have an extinguisher nearby. Safety is your most important priority when juggling flaming torches. Have your fire extinguisher and someone to operate the extinguisher nearby. This is essential if you need your torches put out quickly or if you accidently set something on fire.
5. Get a small cup. Pour the charcoal lighter fluid into the cup. Be careful not to spill any fuel. Carefully dip the end of your torch into the cup. Let any excess fuel drip into the cup and then remove the torch. Repeat this process with your other two torches. Remove the cup as far away from your juggling area as possible.
6. Light your flaming torches. Take your extra long fire starter to light the torches. You want your hands to be as far away from the flames as possible. Only light your torches at the last possible moment before juggling them.
7. Juggle your flaming torches. Proceed with caution as you begin to juggle your flaming torches. Remember that you need a clear, distraction free mind when dealing with flaming torches. Breathe, have confidence in yourself, be safe and have fun.
