I'm looking to hire someone who can do "fire twisting" fire juggling
or "fire breathing" acts in the Indianapolis area. I've searched all
over the internet but with no luck. Any ideas?

Apologies, but the sentence:

"There is also the Indy Jugglers group/"

should have read:

"There is also the Indy Jugglers group."

There are quite a few fire performers listed at http://www.fire-dancing.com/

You may also want to check out the Performer Database at
http://www.cbgentertainment.com

Most serious fire performers are willing to travel, provided the right
financial incentive, so you may want to contact anyone who is
'relatively' near to you to determine your best options.
