Gora has been calling this 'the ultimate contact staff' and he may be right. Gora has gone back to basics but introduced a few innovative features which really make this staff special. Using a very special aluminium alloy (known as 7075) ensures that the middle section of the staff is light yet strong as Steel. The ends have been packed with additional weight to provide awesome momentum. Furthermore the staff uses silicone protectors near the fire heads. This means that this staff has far less exposed metalwork than conventional fire staffs and is thus much safer. Gora also includes two of his signature inverted rubber 'flowers' - these slow the staff down slightly as well as giving additional weight. They can be removed if desired. Each end of the staff is finished with generous lengths of 100mm Kevlar® wick. Please note that this staff should not be held vertically whilst on fire. Fire Staff Spinning is obviously extremely dangerous - this prop should only be sold to responsible adults.

The Gora Practice Staff is a fantastic prop in it's own right and not just for spinners gearing up for fire twirling. This is a smooth, well balanced staff that's perfect for training or performing without fire.
The staff's core material is the same 7075 aluminium alloy found in the Gore Fire Contact Staff. This makes it exceptionally durable and very hard to bend yet still light at the same time. To give additional momentum for contact tricks there are lathed steel rods attached to either end. One of the nicest features though is the extruded EPDM rubber handle that covers most of the inner section. This is very grippy and sticky and ideal for contact staff. Gora also also included 2 of his signature inverted 'flowers' to help slow the staff. They also work as good visual markers and fan out nicely when spun correctly.

The Vulcane is an elegant cane for a special substance called Lycopodium - used together carefully they can make massive fire effects to shock your audience.
Lycopodium is a fine dry powder made of a plant which has been used for fire effects for hundreds of years.
You need to sprinkle the powder into a flame. Upon contact it will catch fire and makes a massive fire circle around you.<
First you need to apply the Lycopodium into the tube (using a funnel works best). Then you can apply the paraffin to the Kevlar on the Vulcane with a syringe. From the moment you place the Lycopodium into the tube, you have to keep the cane upright. Then carefully light the cane - make sure that there is no person, animal or any flammable material in 6 metre diameter space around you. Only if the space is safe, you can then swing the cane strongly. The centrifugal force will bring out the powder which will ignite upon contact with the head. Needless to say this is a very dangerous prop and only available to adults with adequate training.
Price is for 1 Vulcane Learn More
