Hey All:
So, here's more of an exercise...
More Zen/Tai Chi, than Mad Max Flame Throwing...
We're gonna talk about phasing the count:
A standard butterfly at regular time has the poi passing at 12:00(N) and 6:00(S); the poi in a split time butterfly pass at 3:00(E) and 9:00(W). Crack the 1/4 time and you have passes at either NE-and-SW or SE-and-NW. The fractions of time, and locations of the poi pass, are limitless.
By fluidly phasing the time, you can slowly rotate the point of the pass from High Noon to a Horizontal Split-Time Butterfly. Switch up your grip ( a bit of a Needle Hop) at the HighNoon cycle and you can phase through the other way.
With a bit of mastery you can get a smooth 360 rotation of the passing points in your butterfly.
And thus: the Butterflicycle Wheel
(and confirmaion that bhodi is loco! )
Anyone else out there mad enough to have tried this?

but i can see what you are doing.
i can do the 360 degree turn but cant get them to do the same thing at the other side.
even 570 ,...

Yeah...
All this poi lingo, and this Canadian accent, too, eh...
Just to clarify (maybe), I'm not moving, turning, etc.
My feet are planted as I spin the poi.
[The plane where I spin remains in front of my body.]
The point where the poi pass in the arc of the butterfly moves as I phase the timing of my spinning.
( I^I to \^\ to <= to /v/ to IvI to \v\ to => to /^/ to I^I )
It's kinda like the phasing of car wheels in a movie, where they seem to be spinning backwards while the car is moving forwards...
I think I just made this way more confusing than it ever needed to be...
but thats the nature of the beast...trying to write a descritption of these moves...

Then "turning the time" got posted i think by poibox a few weeks later.

I had a dream that my friend had a

it was the book of my dreams.
