Meths (a.k.a methanol or methyl alcohol) can be used for fire poi. Ethanol is more common than methanol, and alcohols in general are commonly used in fire dancing with other chemicals to produce colored flames.
Read the Material Safety Data Sheet prior to using methanol (or any fuel). Inhaling vapors prior to and after combustion of fuels can be hazardous to your health.
Fire Mecca's Safety page is a good source for some MSDSs, include one for methanol.

Are methylated spirits damaging to paint?
Depends on the paint. Enamel and lacquer should be OK for short exposure, but meths has a purple dye added to warn people off drinking it (which makes it taste foul) which may leave a stain on non-gloss surfaces or pale colours. Probably safer using propanol, but see if milder cleaners (Spray-n-Wipe) solve the problem first before resorting to meths. Meths smaller methanol molecules can eat easily into things, so propanol is a safer bet (for example, never use meths for tape recorder heads use propanol instead). Spectacle cleaning fluid is a good, safe, substitute for meths for cleaning difficult marks on most surfaces and is an excellent CD/DVD/Monitor cleaning fluid as well (use the same microfibre clothes used for spectacles and rinse and dry cloth in warm water between uses). As for acrylic paint(water-based) - alcohol will dissolve it, so meths will do a lot of damage.
