Among the Wedding Shtick that I’ve seen on many Chasunas is, someone ignites 5 or 6 sticks. (Some, on both ends.) Usually, it’s a professional-amateur-volunteer who does it l’Sheim Mitzvah. Other times, it’s a friend of the Chosson. They juggle it very adeptly and it’s beautiful. But, at the same time this is potentially a very dangerous stunt. At one time, a performer juggled those lit sticks, and the entire structure caught fire and they ended up with 24 people dead and many injured, r”l.
