I am a Living Breathing Dragon based out of Tampa,Florida.
I am multi-prop disciplined with a variety of tools such as contact/double/dragon staff and fire poi. I also eat and breathe fire.
I have over 10 years of experience, have performed/ instructed inside & outside with a fantastic safe track record at many art/music festivals nationwide + many reputable references if needed.
I would love to hear about your next event and see the excitement in the eyes of your guest as I demonstrate a professional and fun atmosphere while bringing the heat!!
I am available to travel anywhere with governing stipulations. Do not let distance let you miss out on this amazing display of art!
Stephen was quick to respond to my inquiry of a fire performer. His rate was competitive and excellent. He wowed my guests, he has a great personality and has multiple props to impress you with. Highly recommend him. He was promptly on time and great with communication. Will definitely hire him again in the future. My fav was the bubbles and the fire breathing.
Stephen showed up as scheduled and put together an exceptional performance that was great for our 10 year old, his friends and the adults. Highly recommend!
Response from Stephen Clark:

Best fire performer on the face of the Earth! Yay!

Response from Stephen Clark:
Thank you your review and allowing us to be a part of your event. I can assure you there were led mini staves, clubs and the led staff programmed with your logos. I apologize as you may have been upstairs as they were being used but they absolutely were being used. Happy New Year to you and your company/family!
Stephen performed for our 1 year old's first birthday party and our guests loved it! Communication prior to the event was very smooth and Stephen reached out to make sure that he could fit all needs of the party. He engaged with our guests and gave a show that young kids and older guests all enjoyed. Guests felt safe during the fire performance and Stephen made sure to create a good space to perform. Thank you so much for closing out our performances!
Stephen was very flexible and worked with us when our schedule got a little messed up. The fire entertainment was incredible and human torch was exact that. Thank you Stephen. So many guests commented on how much they enjoyed your show.
Response from Stephen Clark:
Thank you so much! We had a blast.
We hope we can continue to wow your Krewe from here on out!
Hopefully the next time we will all be able to be in full garb ;)
We’ve booked for the second time and it was amazing per usual. Very friendly and professional. We will be booking again!
Would definitely have this amazing crew back again! We had the pleasure of having them for my husband's 40th Birthday and a fantastic time was had by everyone! Would highly recommend!
The crew was good. The show was great. He was personable. I will hire again.
Stephen and his team did a great job. very entertaining and took all the safety measures necessary to make the crowd feel comfortable. Great job all around and will definitely use again
Can't thank you enough Stephen for going above and beyond for us. You definitely have great talent and I will definitely recommend you for any occasion as your performance is one of the best I have ever seen!

Stephen and his friend, Raymond, did amazing. Although there was a lack of organization and planning on our side Stephen still managed to provide a fun and compelling performance for our youth ministry. Very fun, would hire again.
My guest absolutely loved him! One of the highlights at my wedding. I appreciate Stephen for arriving on Time and giving an awesome performance. Definitely recommend him!
We hired Stephen for an event at our youth group to kick off coming back to church from the pandemic. We told Stephen we wanted him to be ready to perform at 7:45, he informed us he'd be there at 7:20 to properly set up, but he didn't end up arriving until 7:55 and didn't perform until 8:05, 20 minutes later than we discussed.
His performance had no sound or music, and was quite underwhelming. Halfway through the performance he forgot his props and had to run back to his vehicle.
He was very unprofessional and we would not hire again, which is unfortunate considering how excited we were.
Response from Stephen Clark:
I am incredibly sorry you feel this way Jonathan especially as I too was excited, and by the response of the youth group and the number of questions and cheers I felt as if everyone enjoyed the show, I am sorry you didn't.
I completely understand showing up later than we had agreed upon.
I am sorry for traffic, was in communication with you and is why I performed with additional props other than the surprise fire eating I was hired to do when the group exited your building as the event concluded including my double staves and fire breathing.
All of those sets were met with applause and engagement from the kids who afterwards asked myself and the directors if it was ok for an "Encore" which is why I went to retrieve the last prop to do another set before the Q/A.
I understand I did not meet your expectations as I showed up late and I apologize for holding all of you up as you were leaving, but I felt our communications up until this point had been extremely transparent and positive. There was never dialogue involving me providing music and it sounded like there was music playing either coming from inside or the crowd.
Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to showcase this art form to the youth group and I wish you and the group the very best!
Blessings
Stephen was very good at reaching out and communicating with me, and was professional and flexible.
The show itself was great and had all the spectacle we could ask for. Everyone was very happy we did this and came away very impressed. Thanks for a great show from a very talented crew.
I've hired Mr. Clark to perform for many of my events including The Haunted Angelus House and multiple parades to Cotee River Bike Fest and The Great American Teach in. He always delivers a very professional show and never disappoints. Captivating his audience with every move. He is a very talented fire performer that I will definitely recommend to anyone looking for unique entertainment and will no doubt be hiring him again for future events.
It was a sad day. A dear friend of mine had passed, and he was a well respected elder in many Burning Man and artist communities throughout the US. I was charged by his father with producing a memorial sendoff for him at Maddox Ranch in Lakeland, FL. I contacted Clark about a fire performance. He came with his troupe and did a stellar job. Well done sir. Here is a video that includes parts of the performance. 'We didnt come here to fuck around." - AS. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4ACx0KsKIg
Response from Stephen Clark:
Thank you so much P! I hope to see you this year for his on Playa Memorial <3
I can't wait to show everyone what I have planned next!!
We couldn't have fire at our event so Stephen's troupe provided 2 performers for a 30 minute juggling, stilt walking and LED hoops act. Kevin and Kathryn were very pleasant to work with and their act was enjoyable. Their performance is better suited to walking around an event, performing in the background and setting a circus mood than performing a 30 minute stage type act. They need to add a little polish and flair to their act to be truly professional.
Thank you. Great job. Great communication.
Easy to work with. Everyone enjoyed the presentation.

I'm from Tampa, Florida. Small town kid, hard working family.
Long story short, in the past couple of years (Over a decade!) I've completely uprooted from my house, job, commitments, everything and hit the road on that cliché
"Running away to California" Music/Entertainment Industry kick.
I had a little bit more motivation than your average guy having a bad day saying he's running to greener grass. I got a call from my producer/director friend whom I had the pleasure of working with in high school shooting a documentary about a small fight club I help create with a couple friends.
4 years later and many film festivals and awards, my phone rang as I was laying down in bed. It was Nico, my friend who flew out on a red eye to film a few kids in a rural town that was on the outskirts of Tampa who liked to for better terms beat each other up. He was calling to tell me that after all this time and much labor, he had turned this once high school hot shot doc that we were so proud of as kids into an actual feature film that was starting production in a week.
Now there was not much of a budget, but if I could find a way to get from Tampa, Fl -> L.A. , California the offer was extended for me to come kick it on set.
I'm a movie buff. I love stories that evoke emotion. I took T.V. production classes in high school. I wasn't able to finish college at Full Sail University (Film/Photography) for financial reasons. My family was going through an 8 year stretch where they lost their business in a fire and had to focus on keeping everything together for myself and my little brothers. This was my chance, my excuse, my call to get out.
I would have at this time never saw myself on an actual movie set, able to be a part of an actual production, much less one inspired by MY (link hidden) next day I went to work and talked to my boss about the opportunity, and was told to pursue it. This is where the real story begins.
I have been on an adventure and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. I am Fresh home from a 6 month extended stay and cross country trip ending in the heart of NYC. I stayed in East Harlem and performed all over the area for many different styles of events and even produced a music video with a Brooklyn based outfit 'Pfaze 1'
"Get Hot!" - And that was just the beginning, Since then I have appeared in numerous film, music video and multi media projects as well as many onstage productions, corporate and private events.
Now I'm back where it all started in my stomping grounds, ready to bring the heat and help improve the local community while bringing light to faces of excitable children and adults alike with a unique art that will surely leave everyone mesmerized
I have experience in multiple fire props such as contact and double staff as well as dragon staff and fire poi. I also eat and breathe fire.
I am a logistics and on-site special ops department lead as well as Production Tech at many Art/Music Festivals and concert venues across the country building stages as well as installing Audio, Video, and Special FX (Cryo,Pyro, etc.) as well as providing direct Backline support for major tours
I can also be found performing and instructing workshops at the same events to further the knowledge of this amazing craft and ensure proper safety precautions to maintain and solidify the longevity of this community of talented Artists.
I have over 10 years of professional experience, have performed/ instructed inside as well as outside with a fantastic safe track record at many art and music festivals nationwide and many reputable references if needed.
I would love to hear about your next event and see the excitement in the eyes of your guest as I demonstrate a professional and fun atmosphere while bringing the heat!!
I and my troupe are available to travel anywhere with governing stipulations. Do not let distance let you miss out on this amazing display of art!
Contact me for any questions regarding instruction, safety, prop-making, choreography, consultation for your upcoming event, and any other needs that I can help to ensure you have a Stress-free experience.

At the base of this all I am a Martial Artist. I interact with the space around me and try to continue to grow , teach and learn with as many mediums as I can.
My act is influenced by the constant appreciation and communal effort put forth by all flow artists and observers. The countless gazes, questions and amazement are monumental in pursuing this type of performance art and endlessly inspiring.
I am deeply influenced by all music and believe it is the core to much of the Productions I have been involved in throughout my career.
In High School I was a JROTC Drill 7 Ceremony Instructor and won several awards gaining priceless knowledge in choreography and synchronicity.
Combining that with my many Martial Arts Forms, I was Forged through Fire and emerged an entirely new artist.
I attended Full Sail University and furthered my studies in Film and Photography which are great skill sets in addition to my art form to give me creative ways to express myself and bring other's visions to life.
