I just started practicing today for the very first time and this is the move that came the most natural to me amazingly after I couldn't keep my hands together. I actually have two variations ( I think I created?) a little different from this video.one you actually cross your arms and the other is some kind of ninja-antispin butterfly superfast. Thankyou for your tutorials, def. will try the one behind the back!

@firestonemagic if you use the arm cross move you can actually make some really cool looking butterfly/crossing compound circles. It basically looks like a butterfly made of butterflies. You can also anti-spin it, and just about any poi move.

You really really need to get your firepoi out to help the three out of its misery

[LittleKatM]

loving these videos, very helpful, tho still cant do reverse butterflys :o(

[PhailureXD]

Haha this was great. I already knew how to do all this but I am looking through all your videos so I make sure I can know what you are talking about in your advanced videos, and just pick up on what I don't really know..

Damn tree. XD

Also, I didn't say this in my comment below, but thanks for making a video with ways to modify what I can already do. It feels like I've picked up a whole new trick, and helps to stitch things together a bit better too.

Yeah, learning variations is a great way to spice up your poi twirling. They are usually far easier to learn than "proper" moves, and enable you to develop a greater degree of freedom and understanding of your poi.

The tree being in the way makes me think of spinning inside (it's summer here in the Uk, so since I finished exams, it hasn't stopped raining) and hitting the lampshade

[NathanielEverist]

hahaha, yeah. I've got a chandelier style light in my room that has been pretty damaged thanks to indoor poi. Outdoor twirling is better I find, the fresh air and the absolute freedom of having the sky above you makes poi twirling very enjoyable, even if it's cold, twirling warms me up...
