Demonstrated at the 2014 Leather Fetish Ball in San Diego.  The goal was to put on a show that nobody had ever seen before.  Based on the screaming and commentary in the video, our mission was accomplished.  Before starting, I asked the lighting-guy to turn off ALL lights in the auditorium.  It took some convincing, but we got our wish.

We were wearing cheap light-up crap from the Dollar Store (all of it made in China).  We attached it with clear packing-tape.  Halloween season is a good time to hit the Dollar Stores in your area, for the battery-powered, light-up-in-the-dark stuff.

We started with regular, leather floggers with inexpensive fiber-optic toys attached.  Then, we went HARDCORE about halfway through:

Fiber Optic "Flame Whips”

David and I are demonstrating Three-Beat Weaves at the big event, in front of 300 astonished people.  

Full video is here - YouTube version is here. It starts getting VERY interesting at 2.5 minutes. 

Watch for Sir David (green harness) doing a 4x4 Fountain, right before the 4-minute mark.

We didn't practice onstage beforehand, which is why I was losing the war with the curtain, in my PINK harness!

Hardware, Explained

No, there are no actual "flames" involved.  Each flogger is a bundle of fiber-optics, attached to a flashlight handle that has at least two dozen programmable modes.  

Do NOT do this to somebody's bare skin, unless they are a serious Pain Pig.  If I am demoing on an average person, I make them wear a vest!  The fibers are sharp and painful, like many single-tail whips at once!

Where to get the toys… 

This is BETTER (and less expensive) than what we used onstage at the Leather Fetish Ball:

GloFX Space Whip Poi Set

This is what I recommend getting, because the default fibers are too stiff by far, and too long, usually.  the 6-footers are unbelievably unusable.

Technical Poi

Polynesian Poi Dancers at a Luau

Florentine-style moves have a long, LONG history OUTSIDE of the kinky scene.  There are many HUNDREDS of techniques that are part of the ancient art of "Technical Poi".  Here is a wonderful video that shows the potential for wowing the hell out of folks when performing in public.

Some other two-flogger moves that can impress your friends at the next Kinky Play Party (preferably with a high roof, and some lit-up toys):

- Two-Beat Weave
- Three-Beat Weave (in case the instructions above don't work well for you).
- Four-Beat Weave
- Five-Beat Weave
- Seven-Beat Weave (great for young, flexible types!)
- 4x4 Fountain (alternate tutorial)
