Maybe possible and hinting so, doing double meteor-hybrid training right now, seeing if I can clean up my 1/3rd note timing up to include a 3rd sword per hand.

Pretty unclean right now, I'll see if I can brush it up and get something presentable.

Maybe its like a secret and everyone but me is in on it but I have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

Hanuman made legitimate sword chucks, then lit them on fire, and continued doing crazy things.

I'm assuming this means he's adding a second chuck of swords to the mix.

Why not just go all-out and build a quintuple swordchuck flail cluster with both fire and liquid nitrogen and attach the chains to a chainsaw motor?

One step at a time Aldurin, one step at a time.

Any stored fuel source isn't going to be a good idea with this, a chainsaw motor doesn't work in that way either, but liquid nitrogen might work if you could pressurize it some how? All the chemists I know don't work in labs that use LN2, perhaps an observatory would work if anyone knows the connections-- I'd be worried about how to use a valve on something that essentially destroys valves though.

What would work is chainsaw chucks that use a lycopodium press hopper and then have a wick on the end of the saw, bolted through the middle, that way the saws could carry the lycopodium powder and it could ignite-- but you'd probably have to modify the blades to have tiny scoops in them, and even then who knows how the aerodynamics of modified chainsaws work :3:

Good to know you're far enough to actually consider the crazy ideas. I'll give you another year or two before I request burning lightchainsaw chucks with liquid nitrogen in them.

Thank you kindly, it sounds expensive and money is something I have little of =]
I had a friend of mine who was considering making a plasma sword (a plasma cutter with a flame big enough to mimic a sword), but he is a fabricator (at our central science center, he builds rigs and fun things in a magic schoolbus adventure kinda way). I can make props (especially weapons and usable firetools) because they are intertwined with my hobbies and I have large supportive communities that I interact with pretty constantly-- unfortunately I actually don't know that many sideshow performers (probably under 10 performers total), so I don't have a huge amount of danger stunting community to draw from. I know the basics and the ins and outs, but nothing along the lines of complex fabrication or theoretical application to busking or privatized show scenarios I'm afraid.

More on multiple-swung blades-- what I meant by the first post is that its possible to establish equilibrium mid-swing between multiple swords by manipulating them individually through a single source (not like a pizza round, more like a double meteor hammer) I think I saw someone at Kiev breathing while using multiple whips the other day (4 per hand?) so swords should be possible.

Hard to explain without visual, if anyone knows anything about video tech please contact me as I have an AVCHD cam that I can't seem to product a working video format with.
