Fire spinning has been a passion of mine for many years now and has given me amazing opportunities to perform at festivals and events all over the UK. I specialise in dragon staff and am available for bookings for events so please get in contact.
I am a solo performer but I am also a member of a talented fire troop called Ddraig Tribe based in South Wales. Our biggest performance to date was when we were featured on the new Lucas Films, Disney+ series Willow. We played Bone Reavers during a forest party scene and got to work along side the leading cast members including Warwick Davies
Ive also performed with my troop and solo at many festivals events and private functions.
Fire Puppets!

I decided to combine my two passions, to create my very first FIRE PUPPET!!!! 🔥 I made a dragon puppet in honer of my fire troop Ddraig Tribe and a new take on a dragon staff (which is my fire prop of choice when performing).
I was very pleased to have performed with it for the very first time at Blod’s Bash 2021 in Swansea. I made this puppet from wire, pipe and Kevlar rope. This puppet is the first of many, I made it as a prototype to test the idea. It worked well and was a real show stopper! Next ill be learning welding and brazing, metal work to upgrade this design and create a performance centred around them.
Fire puppet in the making
I used a metal pole as my base to build wire around, once I had the shape made from twisted wire mounted on the pole I used kevlar rope to act as the wick for the fuel.
Here is a video of the final structure and how it moves.
