Hiya. In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhWmJs8-d2c Nick does this move about 52 seconds into the vid.. He wraps both poi in split-time around his hands then they un-wrap in the opposite direction, also split-time. I can do the wrapping.. but im stuck with unwrapping them split-time. Both poi seem to un-wrap together Very Angry Any help on how to do this please???

make sure when you wrap you wrap so your poi are the same length, then hopefully they'll hit your hands together and therefore split away independantly rather than together (i know how you feel, it's horiffically annoying), and practise practise practise!

hey again i found these very hard with finger straps so i wrap the chain around my fingers once, just remember to give it a bit of extra umph at the begining and as soon as you feel them hit your hand you start to pull your hands apart practice one at a time :D
