Purchase from Home of Poi now.
Online shopping with a personal touch...

Reviewer: Acextreme from Singapore
I enjoyed my online shopping experience with HOP a lot. Though this is my first time with them, I got a very good impression of the services they provided, everything from questions/doubts to delivery. I buy things online frequently and had an encounter with a not-good dealer before. So I can tell you, HOP is one fine place to shop. It's excellent!

Definitely looking forward to shopping at HOP again...

Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.

Start swinging the Poi forward with equal timing. Hold your arms out in front as you do it this time.
Now very slowly rotate your palms inwards towards each other and continue rotating until palms are facing upwards. When you do this you will notice that the Poi will start crossing.
Put the bottom arm slightly infront of the top arm. See animation to the right and close up. You will see that the Poi are now going in opposite directions.

Tips/Hints:

If your Poi knock together when you are coming into the butterfly check again that the bottom hand is slightly in front of the other.
If they still collide, check that both your palms are facing up towards the sky.
