Trick Concepts

Everyone I know in the community gets their supplies and gear here. Want to see one of their creations in person before you buy it from the website? Their retail spot is worth checking out. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the owners Bren and Jaz straight up rock. 5 stars fo-​eva.

I’ve bought my wicked fire fans, LED Xtreme Fans, Replacement wicks for fans, instruction videos on fans, fire gloves, my new poly pro hoop and my collapasible heavy fire hoop from Trick Concepts. They have excellent customer service and are extremely hands on. I’ve spoke to Jaz personally about some of my orders. Any time I’ve had an issue they’ve dealt with it immediately. They have top notch products.
They definitely have the best fire fans on the market. There literally are no other fire fans that are as well weighted as their fans. Both Wicked and Kaos fans are some the most popular fire fans on the market. They’re extremely durable. I do fan toss and I’ve been rough on my fans. I’ve had them for about 3 years now without any major problems. I absolutely love them and they are definitely my favorite prop.
Their LED toys are top notch, they constantly upgrading their equipment. Although they don’t have smart hoops yet, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a direction they go in the future. Their xtreme LED lines are fun to play with and great when you can’t burn.
I find the only thing to keep in mind when ordering from them is shipping time. I’ve find that sometimes I don’t get my orders for 2 – 4 weeks. However, I also typically order during Christmas or busy festival season.
Regardless, they’re one of my go-​tos for Fire props. I recommend them over Fire Mecca or Home of Poi any day of the week.

I bought a standard staff in February from Trick Concepts and I love it, its perfect.
I know many people who order their tools from Trick Concepts and whenever am asked I recommend this company. :D
Thank you for being awesome.

Bought Heavy Duty Khaos Fire Fans — Black (Pair) and love them. great for spinning I love they heavier weight. also got dipping tray that was perfect for these fans. I actually went to store because I wanted to check out several pair. They were answered all my questions and patient. Spun them at a Tropop show that weekend and Love them. Been practicing tosses and they hold up. I definitely would recommend trick concepts.

I bought an awesome breakdown fire staff on clearance from them and it was fantastic quality. Fantastic weight and perfectly portable. I would and have recommended them to my fire spinning family.

THE place to go for fire toys and accessories in the area and online. They have everything you need whether you are a beginner or pro, and it is all high quality. When ordering online I have received my packages very quickly and have actually been really impressed with the packaging.

I’ve been playing with fire fans on and off, and I’ve been looking to get a pair of fans soon. While doing research and asking for recommendations, TC was one of the companies that came with consistently high recommendations from other fire dancers. They have a wider variety of designs suited for different styles of fan dancing, and all the fans I’ve handled by TC have been very well-​balanced and sturdy. I have yet to hear complaints about the quality of their fans, so I am very comfortable making my purchase from this company.
I’ hope to eventually have several different size fans and am looking forward to my fan!

This is an update to the review I wrote a year ago about my Heavy Duty Khaos Fire Fans. Initially I had a problem with the O-​ring and with the black powder coat on the frame. In August 2013, Jaz replaced my fans with a new set featuring a perfectly smooth O-​ring, but the powder coat started to chip badly the very first time I transported my fans (together, lightly grazing in the same bag). So I was pleased with the customer service, but still a little disappointed with the product itself.
It seems that Trick Concepts has recently made a commitment to improving their customer satisfaction scores. They’ve hired a dedicated customer relations team member who reached out to me in response to my dissatisfied review and went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with my fans from Trick Concepts. She sent me a replacement set in chrome which are beautiful, well-​constructed, and won’t endure the same powder-​coat challenges as my earlier sets. I am more than happy with the efforts Trick Concepts is making towards full customer satisfaction and am pleased to update my original review to testify that they’ve repaired my confidence in them and I’d recommend them again.
At the end of the day, the Heavy Duty Khaos Fans have the most beautiful burn of any set I’ve ever seen, and the thing that makes me the happiest is that they’re FINALLY getting the quality of construction that fans of such beauty deserve.

I love this company and their customer service! Since 2010 I’ve ordered a total of 3 LED hoops and one fire hoop from Trick Concepts. My LED hoops are still as bright as they are the first day I got them. I bought my first fire hoop from them and it was the perfect hoop for a beginner. What I love most about this company is that whenever I send in my hoops for minor repairing they take care of all my needs in a very prompt and timely manner. They are also my go to people for supplies such as hoop tape and kevlar. Most of their prices are unbeatable. I will definitely continue to bring my business to this company.

This is hands down my go to fire tool company for ALL my fiery needs! Trick Concepts stands behind their merchandise by developing products in house which allows them to work closely with their clients customizing each tool to fit their specific needs. TC is exactly what innovation is all about; always designing the latest and greatest toys which helps keep performances fun and exciting!
Scortch and Jaz are the most dedicated couple in the fire community; always keeping safety in the forefront of every event or project they are apart of. They are the first to put new and old fire dancers together creating magic by teaching and sharing tricks of the trade! Love everything they stand for, and they will continue to be my #1 fire tool manufacturer.
Trick Concepts wins my heart! XOX
Thanks for everything, always!

I love Trick Concepts!
Not only is it the most local fire equipment location, but they have quality products designed and manufactured on site! They are best known for their staffs and fans, so many fan designs, you really get an option with what you want. You can drop by their location to check out the merch first hand. Ive made a pair of great double staffs from purchasing parts made here. Its weird to get to, and sometimes feels like your in the wrong place, but once inside, you will be guided by their wonderful staff.
The employees at this place are really integrated into the fire arts community. They host local weekly spin jams, and organize every year for Fire Conclave, its a true community service that doesnt get enough praise. Sometimes they can be edgy or what seems like rude, but just give them a chance and hopefully youll fall in love like i did.

I absolutely love the staff I got from Trick Concepts. I’ve tried all sorts of other staves from different companies and found trick concepts to be the best. I’ve dropped it plenty of times and it hasn’t bent. If you plan on learning contact, make sure to get the ends weighted!

This is the only place I will buy fire equipment.
Not only are TC the top developers of (often copied) fire tools, but they will work to customize exactly the right tool for you.
I don’t know anywhere else that you can not only buy flow tools, and go to community based meetups where they’ll teach you how to use them! and for next to nothing!
Jaz and Scorch give so much to the community of fire spinners and flow artists locally and nation wide, It’s rare to see a business these days that’s so involved with enriching people’s lives as well as making a living for themselves and their families.
I wholly support that. Yay for small businesses!

Love this store and all
Of its super helpful employees. If you have a problem with trick concepts I can only caulk it up to YOU being the dumb ass. First of all, If you order online be sure what you are ordering is what you want, they are not mind readers they will make your order exactly the way YOU ask for it. So you only have to blame yourself if you don’t like your order. I’ve bought multiple fire tools here as well as LED tools and they are always top quality and innovative as all hell. I will always buy my fire tools from this company. If you are not sure what you want and you live in so. Cal. Just go to the shop and they will help you. It really upsets me that people post such nasty reviews about this company when really it is the fault of the people ordering online.

I ordered a staff online from them, and really wanted things to work out with this company, since it was a considerably pricey purchase and my first fire staff purchase nevertheless. Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with my purchase and found the staff to be too bulky and decided to make a return. I thought this wouldn’t be a problem considering Trick Concepts’s website clearly states that they offer a 60 day return policy and my staff qualifies as a returnable item. However, I soon realized that the company is unresponsive to my methods of contacting them. They do not pick up the phone (I’ve called over 10 times at this point), and so far my message to them through their website has gone unnoticed (it’s been 5 days since I’ve contacted them and I still have not gotten a response).
It is also true that their FB account has been deleted, which has made me weary, not to mention there is a trail of complaints online from unhappy customers. Though I will continue to try and contact them further in every way I can, my experience has so far been terrible and it’s unacceptable for a business to treat customers in this way. Use Trick Concepts at your own risk.
UPDATE: Their Facebook page appears to be back online since the writing of this review.

i wish i could give them ONE star this is the worst company i have ever dealt with in my life my previous review is
«I purchased a hoop through their kick starter campaign. that was in november and the hoop is still not even made! they have closed their FB account to people commenting because people are so pissed off! we have been waiting for months! the product that does go out is garbage every one who has received something is pissed off! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!»
i have now called their offices over 40 times and left probably over 15 voicemails. no response
UPDATE 2014!!! I am moving up their rating a bit. We were contacted by trick concepts a few weeks back. in order to fix their issues they were having they offered us a free hoop. We chose a colour and it was sent to us immediately. They are at least trying to fix the problems the were having. nice to see.

Great Quality Fire Tools! I bought my fire staff from them earlier this year, went in and picked it up along with a fire blanket, and I couldn’t be happier. Their staff was super helpful and patient, they answered all my questions. Their prices are totally worth the quality, and I can’t wait to buy more tools from them (they offer a frequent buyer program, bulk item, as well as a reference program). Their XTREME LED line is brighter than any other LED tools Ive seen, and the only LED fan line Ive seen so far. EXCEPTIONAL!

Innovative, high quality, and overall phenomenal! Trick Concepts makes THE BEST fire tools. And I don’t mean that they make the best fire tools out there (i.e. reproduce). They design, create, and provide the highest standard of fire performance and practice tools. Their many options, continually fresh ideas, and dedication to top-​quality products really sets Trick Concepts apart.
Trick Concepts makes all of their tools; they do not order in from somewhere else. This means that if anything needs to be fixed, they can handle it in their shop. No need to ship things to a manufacturer; they handle the repairs/​alterations. Don’t settle for lower quality imitations or tired designs. If you’re still not convinced, stop by Trick Concepts and have a look at their tools. Ask someone there about how to use something; experience the quality and customer service first hand. You won’t be disappointed.

I’ve been at the warehouse twice and order from them on line. They are really helpful and know their products. Great great customer service. They really put their heart and soul into what they produce and love to share their passion with you. If you go to their warehouse, they allow you to take all the time you need to play and look at their stuff durring their office hours.
My only warning is that when there is a new designed product, like any product, wait a few months for them to workout the bugs or elas it will cost you to fix it.
Overall: They are the top two places I recommend people to get fire tools. I’m a huge fan. The owners and staff are amazing, amazing people. They also hold fire classes in thru the Long Beach parks and rec, and run burn academy, which is a fire spin jam once a week.

TRICK CONCEPTS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST PROVIDER IN FIRE TOOLS AND FIRE ACCESSORIES. Period.
I have been using Trick Concepts tools for years. Scorch and Jaz are always beyond nice and the staff is amazingly knowledgeable and helpful. This company has had a strong presence in the fire arts community for years. They are not only tool providers but they are also fire artists, which gives them an edge in knowing what us dancers are looking for.
Give them a call, drop on by, hit them on the web, whatever… just get your next set of tools from this fiery company!
