The one handed butterfly! Funky little trick that (^_^)

Ok so, when your doing the trick your hands should be in a position like your about to lock your front door, or your about to lump someone in the face hehehe :P

When the two Poi start to come down, assuming your right handed, Twist your hand about 90 degrees clockwise, this keeps the two heads slightly apart so that they don't clash together.

Then when the poi are coming back up you twist your hand back to the way you started. So in essence it looks like your turning a key.

It takes a little bit of practice getting it just right so they still may clash. But this helps me greatly when I'm doing them (^_^)

I hope this has been helpful!!
