Those performers who mostly renegade and let their tools burn out at the end of the show will usually only need the emergency extinguishing (unless they meet a grumpy fire marshall). Those performers doing theater, or any kind of timed performance will usually see intentional extinguishing.
Okay, so, emergency extinguishing should be the rarest occurrence. But when it does happen, there's sometimes a first aid aspect to consider. In these cases, damp towels are the preferred safety towels. Not only are they clingy, and readily put out body fires, but they perform the first step of first aid at the earliest possible moment: cooling the burn. There are several factors, however, which make damp towels less than desirable. First, if the temperature is below zero, the towel can ]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:22:45 +0000 mod http://nafaa.pbwiki.com/Tools email.hidden@example.com (Tedward) Tedward edited Tools All about tools

Okay, been seeing a LOT of confusion about safety towels. So, let\'s get complete about this once and for all.

First, A spotter has 3 major responsibilities: 1) to the audience, keeping them away from the performer, and keeping the fire away from them; 2) to the venue, preventing it from burning to the ground usually; 3) to the performer, both to locate, inform and extinguish stray fires on their person, but also to attend them for showmanship purposes like extinguishing tools when their time onstage is over (for choreography usually).

As far as the safety towel goes, this breaks down into two general tasks: put out the (hopefully) rare occurrence of stray fire from lost wicks or loss of control; and intentional, regular flame extinguishing of tools exiting the stage. Those performers who mostly renegade and let their tools burn out at the end of the show will usually only need the emergency extinguishing (unless they meet a grumpy fire marshall).

Then, spin vigorously. Use the chain to hold the wick at the top of the bottle and tip. Pour the spun off fuel into the original container and remove you wick. Done.
Works for staves too.
Also, Arby's makes these large drink cups where the lids screw on.
Simply cut off the doo-hickey on the top and make a big enough hole to thread your poi handles through.
Place the poi heads in the cup with the handles still threaded through the top
Screw into place and swing away.
