Fire fans are not as popular as other props such as fire poi or fire staff, and are more dance-oriented. Poi and staff tend to be more juggling-oriented.

Two fire fans are held, one in each hand and swung around the body, creating patterns of fire.

Types of fans

For wicking, fans typically either have discrete torches on the end of each vane or a band of wicking running in an arc across the tips of the vanes. cite video

Some are constructed with intricate patterns in their framework, but this is mostly ornamental as only the fire can be seen clearly when in use.
