Fire-twirling refers to the art of twirling a staff or other implement where the ends are alight with fire. The most common of modern fire staves (aka fire stick) are made of aluminium tube to ensure they are as light as possible. This maximizes speed and height when performing tricks. It is not necessary to use aluminium tube as a staff although it may give the performer an aesthetic edge. Fire-twirling is often performed at night where the light of flames (and from the surrounding environment) reflect from the staff. The staves can be made from any straight rod which the performer can manipulate, frequently wood, aluminium, or rattan. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fire-twirling"

Comedy Juggling - Generally the juggling skill takes a back seat to the comedy. A comedy juggler will tell lots of jokes, do lots of clowning around, use lots of audience participation, etc. Finally the performer will get around to juggling, usually with something “dangerous” like knives or fire torches, normally balanced on something high or unstable. For every minute of juggling there are ten minutes of banter, meaning not much juggling skill is needed for thirty minute or hour-long shows. Comedy juggling is good for street acts, cruise ship shows, corporate entertainment, theme parks, etc. Beware of “comedy” costumes and “comedy” props. Examples: Raspyni Brothers, Haggis and Charlie, Ben Cornish. ...more on Wikipedia about "Forms of Juggling Performance"

Poi is a form of juggling with balls on ropes, held in the hands and swung in various circular patterns, similar to club-twirling. It was originally practiced by the Māori people of New Zealand (the word poi means "ball" in Māori). Women used it as an exercise to increase flexibility of the wrists and boobs, and by men to increase strength in the arms and coordination. It developed into a traditional performance art practiced mostly by women. This art in conjunction with others like waiata a ringa, haka and titi torea form the performance art of Kapa haka. ...more on Wikipedia about "Poi (juggling)"
Siteswap (also called Cambridge notation in the United Kingdom) is a notation used to describe juggling patterns. It encodes the number of beats of each throw, which is related to their height, and the hand to which the throw is to be made. It is an invaluable tool in determining which combinations of throws yield valid juggling patterns for a given number of objects. It does not describe body movements such as behind-the-back and under-the-leg. The notation was developed in 1985 independently by three people: Bruce "Boppo" Tiemann at the California Institute of Technology, Paul Klimek in Santa Cruz, California, and Mike Day, Colin Wright, and Adam Chalcraft in Cambridge, England (whence the alternative name). ...more on Wikipedia about "Siteswap"
