Gora body torches are a unique prop for fire dancers and acrobats. Their design is similar to Gora's hand candles (and together, they make a lovely set!).
The difference between the hand candles and body torches is that the body torch can be attached to different parts of your body. Their attachment method is different. Body torches also have a longer wire and larger wick. Body torches can also be used a hand candle/palm torch.
While burning, the body is protected from the heat of the flames by the thick leather circle. The Kevlar wick (1x1in) is attached to a flexible spring wire. This ensures that it doesn't break or bend. Gora's body torches are designed to be more durable and channel less heat towards your body.
These body torches can be attached to your upper arms, lower arms, and ankles. They are fastened to your body with velcro, so you are able to take them off with a single movement if necessary.
Priced per pair.
Gora's usage recommendations:
- Read and follow fire safety requirements for clothing, this is especially important in case of body torches! For example, if you use the body torches on your legs, it is of uttermost importance that you wear either nothing on your legs, or relatively thick, fire safe materials which align with your legs and are not loosely floating. Also, never ever wear polyester or any fibers containing plastics.
- Always check the wind direction. Don’t use the body torches when the wind is strong, and take into account the wind direction in case of any wind at all – it can blow the flames towards your body.
- Thoroughly test your choreography, especially acrobatics to understand which moves channel the flames and heat towards your body.
- No fuel should get on the leather parts.
- Do not store your body torches in a closed bag, as the fuel might evaporate and eventually soak the leather parts, creating a fire hazard!
- After use, wait until the torches cool down, then store in a bag with some ventilation.
- Be careful when you hold the torches upside down!
