The first time I watched this video a few years ago, I didn't know who Ronan was. The first minute or so I thought to myself "His poi are so long, how can he do anything but basic moves?" and "His style is nice but he lacks complexity and diversity in his moves" and then the beat dropped and I was blown away! I love how his performance slowly builds and builds and builds into a crescendo. It's something I've started to incorporate into my own performances. I used to just go all out immediately but now I'm starting to understand build up and tension and release, of which Ronan is truly a master. He knows how to entertain a crowd for sure. After learning who Ronan truly was - the man who INVENTED contact Poi, I look at my first impression of him as naive and childish
I had to log in so I could leave a comment. I literally watched this with my mouth open and applauded when it ended. I have never seen such smooth flow in a performance before, and I am in awe of the ease of effort with which Ronan spins. I've been spinning for about 3 years now, but nothing I can do comes even close to this. If I could favorite this, I would. Complete inspiration and poetry in motion.
I really enjoy watching this fire spin. sparkling fire is one of the coolest effects, I wonder how amazing it felt to wield that. maybe one day I could experience it. This video is very inspiring and thanks for sharing your awesomeness.
This is definitely not Lycopodium powder. Lycopodium powder quickly ignites leaving a big fire trail. The chemical used in this video is Titanium Hydride Powder, commonly used in fireworks. I strongly recommend against using Lycopodium powder on regular fire poi, there are props designed specifically for use with this powder. Please be sure to research and test any of these chemicals before following someone's suggestions.
We generally sprinkle a bit on it but really the more you use on it the more exciting it becomes, especially for poi if they clash at any point you will get lots of sparkle. Best thing really is to experiment with it and see how it goes :)
Yeah as if you spin off with the powder on it im sure a bit chunk of the powder will come off, again experiment with it and see which results you prefer ;)

I totally agree, its been 9-10 years since this performance and yet it still a great performance to come back to and study.

so amazing unbelieveable moves! pls pls more tutorials :)
Its called Lycopodium powder and you add it to the prop after you soak it for crazy trails and a sparkle effect.
Very nice performance. Nice body tracing, isolations and stells. I want see this by my eyes
inspirejszon
You can use either or both really, its up to use, cant remember which does which from the top of my head but yeah experiment and have fun :)
thanks you for answering, i got one more question .. i am confused whether or not if you use titanium or lycopodium powder or can you use both?
do you spin off the excess fuel before you put on the powder?
Beautiful performance,
and two moves I hadn't seen before that I really like for me to work on too :)
So right after soaking it in white gas how much should I put on the head before lighting? Do I sprinkle it or cover it in a layer?
Aw.. im sorry.. where can you get those lycopodium powder? Im from PH.. insane stuff.. :)
I think he did by those trails.
How did he get those awesome spark trails?
you are awesome!!! whats the name of the song
I wanna know how to make poi spark effect.

siick iso's man
How to make poi spark effect ?
The best part was 2:05 - 2:11 !
What kind of gas is he using it looks especially sparkly
Its not gas, its titanium powder that you add to soaked wicks :)
Did you use titanium??
Anybody know how to get ahold of this dude?
what kind of music?
If you want the sparkles search "sklitter".
Yeah as if you spin off with the powder on it im sure a bit chunk of the powder will come off, again experiment with it and see which results you prefer ;)
