Archer weave, mexican weave, over the head butterfly, 5 beat weave (it's not as scary as it sounds), 4 beat corkscrew and windmill (followed by matrix move... variation of 4 beat corkscrew), hip reels, shoulder reels... turning with those. And if you can do it same-time, try split-time.

Spiral wraps were really fun to learn hyperloops and orbitals were fun to learn. Flowers, learn them, they are awesome. There is so much more you can do than them than you would believe. Crosser extention, butterfly crosser. Meltdown, wallplane meltdown, btb weave. 2bt waistwrap in front of you, butterfly weave, Pacman Twist

Stalls, carryover, buzzsaw, butterfly buzzsaw split and same, and it may sound silly, but same time same direction buzzsaw looks really cool with fire in a same time buzzsaw fountain

Extentions, whirling in place, whirling in a circle, over the head spiral wraps

And that should cover you for a long time

The only luck is bad luck.

Shut up before I stall my poi up your ass

Butterfly side to side. AKA pacman twist. Kind of a move at first but more of something that helps you learn to move in opposites

Flowers, stalls/pendulums, being able to turn solidly in various positions, thread the needle and variations, five beat weaves and archer's variations on all your weaves. I think these are hugely powerful things to learn for mobility and transitions.

Pretty much what has been said. There are also a bunch of threads covering this which may have more stuff.

everything in reverse, then transitioning between moves - crossover > weave > backwards weave > stall one > butterly...

maybe try thread the needle, behind back, extensions, flowers, isolations, hybrids

This is something I see a lot with fire: wallplane box opposite "flowers," if you will, they appear to go into a stall on one side, jerk the poi behind them into a split time, (opposite as before) direction boxed flower. I've tried this, haven't perfected it.
