Note that this isn’t a definitive list. If you and your friends call these moves by different names- there’s nothing wrong with that. Let us know and we’ll list both names. This list is so we can have a basis of which to learn from, a common ground of terminology, and a means to progress our craft.

**Feed Each Other (aka “Here comes the airplane/choo-choo!”) - Any of the eating techniques can be done by the other person putting the torch in your mouth, or visa-versa. Mix and match. Have fun.
The Gemini Transfer - (Partner A) right arm and (Partner B) left arm extended horizontally, wrist facing up, fingers facing down (like an upside down hi-five), unlit torches soak from bottom of palm to arm, either 1 partner can light their end and watch it light across both arms, or have a third person light from center.
Deal with the Devil Transfer - Partner A and B both soak right hand from web between thumb and index finger to up their arm, shake hands, 1 partner lights their end, fire lights across both arms.

***Fire Kiss - Human candle from one person to light a vapor hold of another person. Can also be done from tongue to tongue (separate name? French Kiss?)
***Cerberus Stance - There are many interesting combinations when there’s just 3 torches between 2 people. It’s easier to dance together with, and you can always switch off from 1 to 2 torches with them. Don’t look at it like one partner having only 1 torch, rather see it as partner A is acting as partner B’s 2 torch arms while B now has an extra 3rd torch and a free hand for switchoffs.

Note: Wikipedia mentions a trick called “The Extinguisher” which is defined as “Utilizing a class:B fire extinguisher to extinguish aforementioned flame”.Please do not attempt to perform this trick. Fire extinguishers are messy and expensive to have refilled and for the majority of the extinguishers you will use during your career discharge powders that are harmful if inhaled.
