Funky Staff
Funky fire staff - unique hybrid design wick for a spectacular flame. Handcrafted, lightweight, incredible balance. From 220 €.
The best, the sexiest, the cherry on the cake of our collection of Fire Contact Staff. Lightweight, super durable, and super visual flames, with the best grip options out there.
We made this design for the first time 4 years ago, on a request from our good friend and legendary Contact Staff artist Jean Souleymane. It has a thicker tube than our other Contact Staff design: 22 mm. Made by request, kept by demand — now in the store.
The longer fire wicks give an interesting weight distribution that the most experienced spinner will appreciate. It is not as slow as our Monkey Fist contact staff and feels like a staff for the purists — those who like a less heavy staff on the ends and that is very responsive. Less extreme weight distribution, so it needs more control but comes with more potential, and requires precision.
It's a favorite among advanced contact staffers, and we're proud of that. Not ideal for beginners. We recommend the Oscar grip for bold colors and top grip with minimal weight. The combo is smooth, responsive, and feels just right.
Built with 7075-T6 aluminum 22 mm, 1 mm thick. These tubes will never bend in normal use! We've been making Isis knots for years, and they are incredibly durable.

Sizing
140 cm or 150 cm? As a general rule: if you're taller than 170 cm, go for 150 cm. If you are smaller than 170 cm, then a 140 cm staff is probably a good choice.
In the end, it also depends on personal preference. For horizontal plane tricks like matrix, it seems better to have a longer staff. For vertical tricks, like halo or angel rolls, a shorter staff can be good.
Grip Type
EPDM
Perfect for beginnersA soft and comfortable grip, quite squishy, and ideal in wet conditions. It will become grippier with time as it starts to degrade, it may then leave black marks after long use. It will last one to 2 years before having to be replaced. A solid option for beginners or those who like a grip that can slide in the hand and won't stick to your hair. Also a little more comfy and forgiving than other options, and the cheaper one!
OSCAR Grip
Premium yoga mat styleThe ultimate yoga mat style grip. Yoga mat grips are the favorite of a lot of spinners, the right amount of gripping without being too much, super comfy, and comes in beautiful colors. The problem was they were not durable at all. But that day is over! Oscar, a British staff expert and professional prop maker, finally found the one we were all looking for : the super durable yoga mat grip. After over a year of testing, the grip is intact, showing almost no signs of wear, despite intensive use.
GOAT Grip
Indestructible · Super grippyUltra-durable and very grippy. Great for intense practice, it literally sticks to your skin and makes everything easier. Any contact moves become easier, it's almost like a cheat code. It can be harsh on sensitive skin and slippery in high humidity, and will add more weight in the middle of your staff, we don't recommend it for our 90 cm double staffs as it can mess up the balance.
On every staff : Silicone Tape
We use it to cover exposed metal near the flames, it is a key safety element. Touching hot metal by mistake won't be happening anymore with this special silicone. We use it on all our fire staffs. One of the golden safety rules of making fire props : as little exposed metal as possible. It can handle fire as long as it keeps moving. Leave it burning on the ground for more than 10 seconds and it will degrade quickly. In motion, heat dissipates better and the silicone can last many years.
Custom
All our fire props are made by hand in our workshop in France! Our team of expert artisans can make pretty much anything you could think of.

Fire Safety
Soak 90% of the head, let the rest absorb naturally. Never soak longer than 2–3 seconds. If fuel drips from the wick, it's already too much. Even on the first burn.
Never let the staff burn without moving for more than 10–15 seconds. Silicone can handle fire well while in movement.
Never perform with fire alone: a dedicated safety assistant and a ready-to-use fire blanket are non-negotiable.
