Posted: yeah, i've tried 4 poi. The trick is to practice with two in one hand to begin with. loop one around your pinky and one around your pointer finger (this can be done during normal spinning and looks pretty cool). Try and keep your fingers fom bunching up too much and the poi should naturally spread apart. It's kinda tricky, but doable. When you get comfortable with doing that in each hand, try with four. I haven;t spent much time on it (being distracted by double staff, flags, and one poi/one staff combo), but i think it could look really amazing. Goo' luck.------------------Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath, fire my spirit

Posted: hey this is a little off track but one day when bored with single staff(i use a four foot staff)a friend and i thought that mabye a cool effect would be to tie two staffs togetheralthough this seems aliitle unweildy(sp) at first the effect is awsomewe found a strap of bike inertube works bestto secure the two at the centre

Posted: well, if we're gonna be off track, the other day I tried spinning a short staff (~4ft) in one hand and a poi in the other, weaving them through eachother. It's actually pretty cool, if the staff and poi are similarily wieghted. I also tried it with my 6' fighting staff, but it was too slow for the poi.
