I'd be worried about flammability with fire... not sure but I would check on that if I were you.

Hmm...Good thought. This actually generated when I got my mini LEDs over the weeked... I've had my fire minis since November and haven't had much of an issue with those, they are 22" compared to my smaller, 17" LED minis. Those are a bit harder to grip b/c they are so quick. I'll give it a shot on my LEDs and stear clear with the fire :)

One thing you might consider, at least with the LED's...is some clear tennis/hurling grip tape. I've seen the hurling tape in clear before (in dublin, hurling is an Irish sport). Don't know about tennis coming in clear. But it's super grippy and soft too. But it may add unwanted weight/possibly disperse too much light. Just a thought though.

Thank you! Great suggestion... and honestly, a little weight wouldn't hurt, as these are 17", a little smaller than I'm used to. I'll check it out.

Have you tried taping the inside of the hoop with gaffers? I did this with my husbands twins and he LOVED it. I used the 1/4 inch gaffers so it stays flat, the 1 inch is too wide and can curl up on the sides. It provides maximum grip AND maximum exposure to the hoop for the audience! Plus, it makes a really cool illusion :) You can see the inner ring of bright red on his hoop here (where he is being goofy and using one mini hoop and one poi hehe)
