ever heard of a crosser?
If you have, a straight jacket is a crossser but with your front wrist tucked under your elbow.

A very hard move. Say dude, I have no idea what standard of poi you are! Tell us a little about yourself first! Then I'll reveal the secrets of straightjackets :P

i class myself as probably a kind of expert because i can do every trick on the vids section apart from 2 the 5 beat weave bkwds and hyperloops i can do barrel rolls but they still need a bit of work i have been spinning since i was about 9 when i saw some1 playing with some poi and when i got home i was searching for the name of them on the internet 4 ages and found it and ordered a pair of rubber things i got a few bruises but i kept goin and now 3 yrs l8er i am near enough brill at em so when im 14 or 15 i might try fire poi

sounds pretty sweet! I wouldn't say you're an expert though :P experts know everything - so with poi it is impossible to be an expert!

If you're getting to a high standard you might wanna buy the Encyclo-poi-dia DVD in the shop! Its a good tuition for intermediate to advanced spinners.

Can you do btb tricks? Now they look awesome.

yep.
looks like this:

http://poipoi.info/tuition/tuition-threebeatweavebtb.php

but I can only do it in the reverse to that. Much easier lol.
I've almost got it forwards though!
Can't wait til I get it and then I can turn between them.
