I know the Subject sounds oxymoronic but I was wondering if anyone else has ever played around with this. I started by doing a one-handed butterfly and choking up the chain one hand at a time until it got smaller and smaller. Then I realized you could grab one poi with your free hand and make a smaller circle with one poi let go and then continue spinning one-handed. I started grabbing one and wrapping the other then going into a weird one poi short one long weave, also hitting one poi so it spins twice as fast as the other creating a 2:1 timed one-handed weave, you can change from same time one handed bf to split-time onehanded bf easily in this way, and many others I was just playing around with. I am not good at any other one handed moves other then same and split-time one handed butterfly's but I imagine other one-handed moves could also be manipulated in this way.

Yeah if you catch one head and wrap the other then throw the held head in the other direction it looks awesome. These are also great for transitions.
