nah it will happen, try practicing with one hand at a time to get the feel for it, but its just practise ive been doing it for 1 and a half years and i have practised everyday for at least an hour give or take a few days but yeh its soooo rewarding when you finally nail something well good feeling Smile

Hey mate.

I can 3bw reverse 3bw, butterfly, airwrap, etc and I have been spinning about 6 months.

But I also can not do reels. I think its a VERY hard trick, people find different things easy. So dont be put off if its called a beginner move because everyone is different.

Keep at it, and if its bugging you, swap to a new trick, then go back to reels later on Smile

also..... I could have kahns book for 3 years and still not be able to spin, learning from still images is very difficult for some (definitely me) and books do NOTHING in helping me learn....moving tuition, that was the key for me, maybe you too????

Ok, you're all making me feel slightly better Wink

after all, even i can do a butterfly!! (thats about it tho lol)

I'll try something new and see what happens......

Watch this space!! xx

If you can do butterfly try learning angel wings next then mate. I wrote a step by step description for them.

Its not on the tutorial page yet, but if you go to Poi-Related Chat forum its the top thread entitled Announcement: ****PoiPoi® Discount Vouchers up for grabs!****

Or for ease click Here

Its a nice trick to learn if you can do a butterfly

So, thanx for your advice, i'm now happier than a happy thing from the land of happiness Very Happy

THATS CAWZ WE RAWK!!
Yeah, I agree with our Tony up there. Books do little to help. Like Origami. I had about 3 books, totalling around 90 shapes, and i can do about 3, just because i need to see the fluid movements between each step.
I SIGNED UP FOR ORIGAMI - NOT THINKING!
Same with poi - I love it!
Keep at it. Try thread the needle?

Yeah thread the needle is kewl. But surprisingly a little harder than it looks at first Smile

Books are ok. The one you sell on here is great. Taught me the bw 3bw Smile

Woo welldone with the 3bw! It seems me and you started at the same time, how about a challenge... first to nail the backward 3bw?
Winner sets the next bar, first to 3.. er, wins! Wink
