Mojura 4-wick Fire Tech Fans by Flow DNA

Description

The 4-wick Mojura Fire Fan frame shape is particularly suited for grid tech with a tendency to make square shapes for boxy goodness.  The gap between the middle wicks allows space for arm folding and inversion techniques.  They also have somewhat less fire than our 5-wick or 6-wick fire fans.  Prepare to set the stage ablaze with the hottest addition to your performance repertoire—the Mojura 4-Wick Fire Tech Fans exclusively crafted by Flow DNA! Each fan is meticulously engineered to achieve the perfect balance between weight and durability, ensuring that every move you make is as fluid as the flames that trail behind. With four robust wicks on each fan, you’ll create a mesmerizing inferno.

Our Fire Fan grips designed by Duncan boast a grip design that is nothing short of revolutionary. Crafted with the knowledge that the connection between artist tool and style of play is paramount, these fans feature ergonomically contoured grips, providing a secure and comfortable hold for performers of all hand sizes. The careful consideration of grip placement allows for effortless transitions and an extension of the dancer’s body, creating a seamless flow that captivates audiences.

CHOOSING A GRIP STYLE:

Little Ring (38mm / 1.5″):
(AKA Extra-box-tech grip for USA styles)
We added these grips after realizing that some extra-techy spinners really want to put their 2 fingers into smaller holes.  If you’re one of those people, and you prefer to do boxy-techy things with a tighter fit for your 2 fingers, then these are the grips for you.

Small Ring (51mm / 2″):
(AKA Box-tech grip for USA styles)
These are made to fit 3 fingers, or 2 large fingers.
If you like to perform box-techy manipulations that involve more jerky movements where you need to stall the fans at specific angles, then this is the grip for you.

Extra Medium Ring (63.5mm / 2.5″):
(AKA The Goldilocks Grip)
These are made for big hands with 3 fingers, or petite hands with 4 fingers.
Slightly more techy than the medium ring.  Slightly more finger space than the small-ring.   Possibly just right for the most in-between of all tech styles.

Medium-Ring (76mm / 3″):
(AKA Hybrid-tech grip for Jack-of-all styles)
These are made for 4 fingers, or 3 very large fingers. Having more ring to hold on to is better for swinging/weaving techniques and tosses than the small-ring grips, while there is still enough flat handle space to hold onto for stalls and plane-switches. This grip is trying to be the best of both worlds.

Big-Ring (89mm / 3.5″):
(AKA momentum tech for Russian styles)
If you prefer to spin your fans in a continuous flow, performing lots of weaves and fountains, or if you want to do a lot of tosses with your fans, then you want a nice big ring. A large hand-hole allows for wilder spinning momentum-tech movements, and is easier to catch in the air. Box-tech stalling and tutting/switching is less easy with this grip, but still possible, and the squared handle helps with that.

Available with coloured handles for an additional fee.  Please note that custom painted grips will take longer to produce.

Features:

• 4 wicks made from 50mm (2″) high quality Kevlar, sewn with thread rather than screwed on, for minimal exposed metal.
• The gap between the middle wicks allows space for arm folding and inversion techniques.
• Wooden grips finished like a custom guitar for maximum comfort, using fire resistant sealants.
• Single-piece aluminium frames covered by the wood for minimal exposed metal to reduce heat radiation.
• Frames Geometrically shaped for making box-grid techy patterns.
• Grips shaped for optimal finger placement, and layering at 90 degree increments.
• Weight balanced so the centre of mass matches with the centre of the Flow DNA logo.
• Side wicks aligned for wick balances, with the centre-of-mass directly between them.
• Middle wicks aligned directly forwards for wick-balancing both middle wicks together.
• Centre shaped for easier fishtails (careful though.  The flames and metal gets hot.  Wear gloves if you like fishtails)
• Flips and tosses become easier and more visually appealing with this centre-balanced design.*
• Made from engineering-quality materials.  They can take a serious beating!*
• Available with coloured handles – pearlescent paint is recommended 😉  (also you can add sparkles if you’re into that sort of thing)

* While this birch plywood will not break unless you try really hard, we do not recommend juggling on harsh surfaces like bricks and concrete, as the drops may cause chips and marks on your fans.

*****  Very Important *****

Please do not dip your wooden handles into any fuel.  It might mess up the luthiery-style finish.  Use a dry cloth to clean it, if you accidentally spill on the handle.

Also please do not dip your hand-crafted custom guitars into any liquid.  That would be silly.
