I am here for Networking

About Me

Discover The Art Of Fire Poi"watching a guy spin fire is almost like reading a personal gives you this light, anxious feeling because you know that he knows at any moment he could screw up and go up in flames, and he doesn't care. He loves it. He craves it. And it makes you want to have that same feeling. By watching him spin you can see that he is in love with the flame. Or if not the flame, he is in love with the energy and the rush that it gives him. With each move of his body and twist of his wrist you almost taste the excitement that he tries to hide. But you can't fool anyone. We see it. We can almost taste it. And that is what makes fire poi an art. The arousal of the senses that comes from watching it. The excitement that you feel is the same excitement the spinner feels, and a true artist is able to convey all his feelings by way of his expression, whether it be paint, poem, or poi." --Jamie Lebrecht Who We Are In 2001, a partnership was founded between Manny "Vertigo" Castillo and Gabriel "Vortex" Alejio, and thus the Brothers of the Flame were lit. Over the years since they have shown San Antonio the beauty and art of fire poi. Gathering a strong group of performers into their ranks, the brothers have grown from two to nine. Vertigo and Vortex along with veterans such as Wulff, Sy-clone, Jedi, and Satyr have performed countless accident free performances. New faces such as Janus, Mystik, Switch and Rayne have recently brought fresh talent and skill to the team. The Brothers have blazed their way to become icons in the Texas fire community. No party is too big or too small, and a non-stop high energy performance is guaranteed. So brace yourself for a memorable display of traditional art with a modern spark.Here is a taste of what we do!
