0:00:30 > 0:00:32DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Hello, welcome to Blue Peter, Flambe Circus.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Thanks very much for having us.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Never mind this chat. Hand me my fiery whip, please, woman.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50You're not going to get to do fire today, I'm afraid.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- We're leaving that to us professionals.- All right.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54We have trained for at least ten years with fire
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and much longer before that.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59So that is the key to all this - practice makes perfect.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01So that's what you guys get to have a go at today.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03- Good, what are we doing? - What on earth...?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Show the lovely audience what you have in your hands.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- What are they?- What do you call them?- These are called poi.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10They originated in New Zealand and were used by the Maoris
0:01:10 > 0:01:12as a way of training for weapons
0:01:12 > 0:01:15and they use them in dances and all sorts of stuff.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Oh, my goodness, they're changing colour.- Magic.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21So, you guys are going to get to go right now. Are you ready?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Before we do, it's worth saying you can join in with this at home.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26You certainly can, yes. We actually train with sock poi,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29which is actually what it says on the tin - a long pair of socks,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31whack a tennis ball in the bottom, tie a knot in the end,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- you can spin in your back garden. - Make sure you've got plenty of space
0:01:34 > 0:01:36if you're going to do that, or you'll whack people in the face.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- Look at you already, doing it. - I'm loving this.- Look at Barney,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42showing off. So, we're going to take it right back to basics.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45First move, Barney's demonstrating it perfectly.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Start spinning them forwards. That's it.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Imagine you're a train on a track.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51There you go, a bit of knee action as well, loving it.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- You guys are pros.- We're into this. - Next, we're going to go backwards.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- That's it, nice and steady. - Wait, is it arms?
0:01:58 > 0:02:03- No, wrists.- Arms, wrists, whatever. All right, are you ready?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- This one will melt your brain a little bit.- OK.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10We're going to try one forward and one backwards. Sounds super easy,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- but it's really hard.- You're doing it and speaking.- I know.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- You're a hero. - OK, so forwards and backwards.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17One forwards and one backwards.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Look at Radzi's concentration face.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Hello, I'm doing it!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Yeah!- Wait, am I doing it? - I think you're doing it.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- I can't tell.- Just smile, they'll never know.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30OK, the last move for you guys to try is called Butterfly.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- It looks like this. - Yeah, easy, no worries.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36It's kind of like aeroplane propellers or butterfly wings.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- I just hit myself in the head. - So, just in front of you.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41It won't go right round your bobble.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- Look at that for a butterfly. - Barney's going outwards,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- that's even better.- We're not just doing this cos I'm rubbish,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- there's a point of this, isn't there?- You guys are actually
0:02:49 > 0:02:51going to be involved in our fire show later.
