Nathan Machutta

About

When you hire me you are paying for a highly skilled, fully insured, entertainer with over 9 years of experience as a fire performer, juggler, stilt walker, and balloon artist! In addition to receiving a professionally trained entertainer the quoted price will also cover travel, custom made costuming themed to your event, music, props, fuel, and when necessary, a qualified safety assistant. My concern for your guests safety, and the lengths I go through to ensure it is just one of many things that sets me apart from other entertainers in the valley.
My fire performance includes 7 different fire acts including fire eating!
My stilt walking costume selection is extensive and if I don't have a costume for your event theme I will make one for it!
My juggling repertoire includes 3 ring juggling, contact juggling, devil stix, double devil stix, and glow poi!
I work with a variety of entertainers throughout the country as well, so what ever it is you're looking for I am sure I can provide it for you!
Anyone interested in hiring me can expect professionalism, dependability, a friendly personality, and an amazing show!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions and don't forget to check out my website at: www.firelight-entertainment.com to see photos and video of myself and my other performers!

I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully performing for you and your guests!

Influences

I performed for all 4 years in a row on the fire stage at Knott's Berry Farms Halloween Haunt. Performing four shows a night 5 nights a week for six weeks for audiences of over 2,000 people will teach you a lot about the importance of a quality show!

What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 5 - 300 minutes

When a client hires me they should expect professionalism, dependability, a quality show, and a happy audience.
I am fully insured and go through extensive measures to assure the safety and enjoyment of your guests. One of those safety measures is my Fire Safety Assistant. I never do a fire show without a trained person on site with me making sure the fire stays where it's supposed to: in my hands.
I also follow the fire performer safety regulations set down by the North American Fire Arts Association.
I am one of the most experienced fire dancers in the state of Arizona and I can guarantee you an amazing show!
