Posted: Made my first set of glowstick poi the other day (in preparation for an indoors party). Started having a spin with them and then had some fun with wraps.My favorite at the moment (and the only one I can do consistently) is :Butterfly-Giant butterfly-bicep wrap-weaveworks everytime!! ------------------Mark P (the mad chemist)

Posted: to weight my practice glow poi i created these things like look like a cross between a tennis birdie and an evil flying octopus. i like them, with enough of the rubber it has the same weight as my fire poi but it doesn't hurt when wacked. here is the recipe1. take the inner tube of a bicycle tire and cut it in half lengthways 2. then fray the edges on one side 3. roll it up and bind it with rubber bands4. thread a string though and tied key chain rings on either side. 5. decorate with ribbons or plastic squid6. clip your glow stick to the key chain ring nearest the frayed side.7. tie sting/chain/cable to the other key chain ring at the non frayed end. 8. spin spin spin

Posted: A lot of ppl will be surprised by what I'm about to say Mark, why not try to learn how to glowstick? it is quite different, and there are benefits to learning both sides of the twirling coin.Josh

Posted: Quote : 'Learn to Glowstick' - is this glowstick twirling without string?I have got far too much to learn at the moment, I am learning fast with the Poi but I havent really had a lot of practice with my staff.Glowstick Poi were just an idea as there is a party in London that I shall be attending soon. ------------------Mark P (the mad chemist)
Posted: Can some people explain some of the wraps, and what they look like? or how about even a site that can explain wraps. Thanks.
