Over the head butterfly when sustained for a while looks like fire wings. The lower behind the back when sustained for a while looks like firewings too. That's all I can think of for now

Yeah. Butterflys behind your head do it, so do butterflys behind the back. It's much more effective with more than one wick.-Sock

What I do is a variation of the butterfly but not really!?If you can imagine a giant reverse butterfly. As the poi cross over at the bottom of the stoke, your arms are crossed over each other. Look at the animation for giant butterfly to see what I meen, but remember that it's reverse for this move. As your poi get towards the top of the circles, your arms become uncrossed and you can move them wide and high for a second as the poi do a little circle kind of behind you. This gives them momentum and they'll plummet down towards each other at your sides, then cross your arms and lift for another rotation. Your arms are straight all the time, in fact you want them to really stretch for some big arcs.It feels a little like a kind of rythmic flapping motion. Haven't taught anyone else to do it yet, so I can't really say what it looks like!Hope this helps Clare!

If you had a friend that was a tightrope walker, and you were walking down the street and he just fell over......that would be unacceptable.
