Fires from Whyte

If hired as an all around entertainer I generally start off my show by walking the crowd and doing card tricks to warm up the crowd. I generally work like this for approx. 30 minutes (longer or shorter if requested) and begin to set up my materials. When doing my fire performance I walk the audience through my routine trick by trick, steadily increasing in difficulty and time with fire on my body or in my mouth. As a final performance I breathe fire in a variety of ways (split flames, spinning torches, breathing fire off of a hand that has been lit on fire) and finish my show with a bow.

I was born and raised in Alberta but have traveled all over the globe. I currently work in the Fort McMurray area, and live in Edmonton Alberta. My free time gets devoted to my two amazing kids, and my wonderful wife.

I have been told that I "light up" when entertaining as it is my favorite thing to do! The more time in front of people the more comfortable I am and the more outlandish things tend to get!

I have been doing fire performing for the past 10 years in the Edmonton and surrounding area, and usually on Whyte Avenue. I have put on courses in the past to teach fire eating and fire breathing.

Staging is the largest requirement for my show as it is a fire performance. A large area should be cleared with room for people to be 15 feet away from me at times. A large overhead is usually required as well, at least 8 feet from floor, as I perform tricks with 24 inch torches in my mouth.
Lighting should be low for the stage to enhance the enjoyment of the audience. Soft reds or blues are usually the colors of choice.
A sound system is preferred but not required as I can perform with or without music. If a certain song is requested I will try my best to fit it in.
