Fire For Hire

Fire show: Poi / Single Staff / Double Staff
LED show: Poi / Single Staff

Ryan's main goal during his performance is to single-handedly provide you with a fire poi/staff performance, that in which you have never seen before. The props that Ryan uses is as follows. Ryan is an independent performer with close ties to various circus performers, other fire artists, creative people, and production staff within Chicago and throughout the midwest. In his performing history, he has built a solid and professional reputation with club owners such as Excaliber nightclub, Berlin nightclub and the Gorilla Tango Theater; also with well-known production companies such as Johnny Stax Presents, Inc. and Key Lime Films. Ryan is also a regular featured performer with the Chicago based Polynesian entertainment group Aloha Chicago. This group specializes in "island style" entertainment ranging from rehearsed dance ensembles to crowd participation hula dancers, lei greeters, Samoan fire acts, island musicians, and luau catering.

SUSTAINABILITY : I am able to arrive at a venue, set-up, perform, and clean up without aid.
CONTRACT: I ask that a contract be exchanged prior to the event to familiarize both the client and performer of the details of the event before showtime.
FIRE & SAFETY EQUIPMENT: I check all fire props for damages and defects before every burn. In addition to an un-light test spin to insure everything is secure. I also bring to each performance safety equipment including a fire extinguisher and fire blanket/s as required by NAFAA (North American Fire Arts Association.)
FIRST AID: I am certified through Jeff Ellis & Asso. in advance First Aid, CPR & AED.
FUEL: I use NAFAA approved blend white gas also called Coleman's Fuel and ultra pure lamp oil similar to "tiki torch" fuel. White gas is a bright, clean burn that lasts a short time. Visit the link for the MSDS of white gas. Ultra pure lamp oil is a bright, clean burning oil with a longer burn time. Visit the link for the MSDS for ultra pure lamp oil
