We are the Odd Prop Entertainers and creators of the Odd Prop Shop. Specializing in dynamic fire and light dancing shows. We draw from over 30 years of experience working with these thrilling elements. With passion and energy, Kira and Chris will leave guests with a memorable experience that will last a lifetime.

The Odd Prop Fire Show

Our signature skill set involves the manipulation of fire bringing an exciting illusion of danger to their acts. As the driving force behind the Odd Prop Shop our shows include a wide range of one of a kind unique fire props which are unlike anything audiences have seen. A giant burning cube, leather fire wings, a flaming hat, a whirling ring of fire, are some of the custom items we use to inspire and amaze, in addition to more commonly seen fire apparatuses like a flaming hula hoop or fire staff.

If the fire isn’t quite the right fit for your event, we also offer LED and blacklight reactive ambient entertainment and also daytime play areas for kids and adults alike. For community events letting attendees try out different flow toys like hula hoops, poi balls, and other fun props during the day is a great way to get folks up and moving. Then as the sun goes down wow them with a fire show to close out the night.

We are fully insured and knowledgeable in local laws regarding our specialty acts and are a great fit for weddings, festivals, backyard parties, business events, hotel/resort entertainment, and more. If you are looking for something special to really make some memories for your guests contact us for more information.

Chris Rovo is one of the most dedicated and experienced fire and light performers in the flow scene. Having been involved in fire arts for nearly 2 decades, his passion and skill have marked him as one of the most respected members in this community. When he first began down this path, he never would he have imagined his love of this hobby would become the vehicle for personal growth and the career that it has blossomed into today. Chris has a very unique relationship with the fire. He seems to take the element of danger and use that to his favor to entertain the audience by transforming the intensity of the fire and performance into laughter and joy for all. He is constantly pushing the boundaries of what can be done with fire performing. The achievement Chris is most proud of is founding the Albany Spin Jam in Albany, NY. Spin Jam is a weekly free event that started with 6 people coming once a week to practice. It has now turned into a 100 person gathering where drummers, dancers, and performers come together to share and teach each other. Having brought his own passion for the fire arts to so many is truly a great accomplishment. His fire and LED weapons of choice are Poi, Staffs, Rope Dart, Meteors, Sun Wheel, and sooooo much more! Check out these videos of Chris doing a Luau/Tahitian themed fire poi set followed by an LED set at Wurstfest 2013.
