Torch (juggling)

In general, it is best to use hard limiting devices, such as nuts and bolts or kevlar thread, to hold the wick securely to itself and onto the shaft of the torch.

The wick is wrapped around the top of the shaft several times and secured with screws into the wooden core.

[citation needed] Alcohol is generally not considered a good fuel for juggling torches.

However, juggling necessarily requires the hands to alternately grip the flaming balls for 1 or more 'juggling beats' (usually around 0.5 second), known as 'dwell time'.

This restricts the size of flame and the duration of the burn to avoid overheating the hands, even with gloves.
