Gora's fire whip is made of 100% braided kevlar ropes plus the cracker. The fixation of the ropes is well made and secured. The diameter of the wick smoothly shrinks to have the best performance of the whip. The cracker is replaceable. The handle is made of aluminum and covered by heatproof silicone; it is long enough for safety use. The handle protects the hands with its silicone heat shield. The root of the wick is stiff, and the rest of the wick gets thinner and thinner as it gets farther away from the root. This makes the whip easier to use and gives it a better effect.
WICK LENGTH & CRACKER LENGTH
The total length of the whip including handle, wick, and cracker is 94in.
Gora's usage recommendations:
- Don't practice with the Fire Whip. The dry cracking makes the kevlar tired and will reduce the lifetime.
- You don't need to fill up the root of the whip, there will be a huge fire anyway. It would just make your hand hurt and would damage the heat shield. Also it can look silly when you still have a little burning part at the root while the rest of whip is burned off.
- Don't dip the fall, it will reduce the lifetime but give no bigger effect.
- Don't put down the whip while it is burning. If you put it on a concrete or stone or metal surface the flames will heat up the surface and damage the kevlar.
- Never use benzine or white gas, it is too dangerous and will kill your whip.
- Always check the condition of the whip very carefully before you light up. If there is a serious damage on the whip it can fly off from a crackling and injure the audience.
- Never hit the ground with the Fire Whip!!
- Never use benzine or white gas, it is too dangerous and will kill your whip.
