Looking to start a fire performance troupe / freak show

I'm working on doing poi right now, no fire yet, and want to combine that with bellydancing/burlesque. I also have been looking into fire fans. Not as bad ass but a bit better for burlesque than spinning balls of fire. lol
As for 'sideshow stuff' I also to tarot like someone else mentioned and have been working on just 'reading' people. Like going into a deep meditation and connecting with their aura. Not real good at it yet, but getting there! Benn thinking about learning how to set myself on fire, you know, without actually being on fire.

you can set yourself on fire without actually burning. look up "fleshing" or fire fleshing. you dip a fire wand in rubbing alcohol or something else and put it on your skin. it doesnt really hurt but it looks cool.
 
any tips on learning bellydance, especially on the road? ive been to one class and done a video teaching basics but i couldnt actually put a routine together or anything and i cant really take classes since im not in the same spot for more than a few weeks at most. sorry i know this isnt exactly related to the topic of the post
 
I can't do much as far as freakshow stuff, but I've played drums for years and could play a bucket kit with some small cymbals as accompanyment, or rock my fiddle, which I'm not quite so good at yet but am getting there. I'd love to learn how to do fire stuff and acrobalancing, and I'm working on the latter.

I'll be going down into the states with no real plan in a few days, going to spend the rest of winter in the redwoods of cali then who knows. Name a place and I'll meetcha there! Let me know if you'd want me so I can pack cymbals along
