Martin broke the record using five hoops with 20 blazing torch heads, according to a press release from the festival.

The hoops spun around Martin all at once.

The record had been four flaming hoops.

The KamiKaze FireFlies are a combination of comedy and circus, according to their website. The group showcases “juggling, hula hoops, German wheel, whip cracking, and many tricks never seen anywhere else.”
