the echo effect just underlines your perfect your absolute accurate spinning! great tutorial!

The paint can example helped me learn it so much better. I really like your teaching methods.

Nick you are the best teacher ever & I wish I could ever come spin at one of your retreats but I'm a felon so come to the states!

I love what Nick said in the last part. Playpoi, Thnx for sharing.

By far the best method I've seen to simplify the Triquetra, many thanks Nick

A trick ive wanted to master and with your beauty and flawless talant you have yet again guided my way to more freedom of movement.. You are an inspiration... Thank you...

That was so peaceful to watch.

Nik you are such a talented poi artist. Thank you for everything that you have helpped me learn and for all that I have still yet to learn from you.

It is your teaching that makes poi even more fun, thank you! I learn all sorts of things every week from you :)

Very nice improvement with the videos nick! The blur option is extremely easy to visualize the movement of the poi and the arm

Love your videos poi has really changed my life. It is a beautiful art. i am trying to learn the flowers but it is taking some time. But thanks for posting all of your videos

I'm so stoked I was just thinking about how to do these!! Thank you!

you have the absolute best tutorial vids for poi

this move feels natural. thanks

Aha! It all finally makes sense. Thanks for another great tutorial, Nick! Now to go play -- whee!

Amazing video. The visual effects really add to help what is trying to be achieved. Excellent job as always, I use alot of your words to help teach others.

thank you Nic

this is one of your best tutorials...

you should set your camera to a night mode with slow capture. some cameras have a "fireworks" mode which just works perfectly. you can do it manually too, just don't forget to turn off the flash.

Thank you for this awesome lesson. I went outside and picked it up immediately =)

I'm starting to love that introduction music. :)

How does this make any sense???? This is driving me crazy! You make it look way to easy. I keep getting hit in the face and balls.

great video!!!

thank you! i have been trying to figure out how these are done. That video effect is awesome! it really helps trace what you are doing. How do you do that effect?

thats really cool man!!

That’s crazy when I learned this years ago that’s how my buddy taught me. Dip the paint brush, spread on the walls lol

dip and paint.... thanks nick.

wow! the end of the video is really psychedelic ;)

Hey nice tutorial! what would that effect called?? it's so beautiful with fire and with your flowlight!

yeah how do you get the trails? awesome video.

nailed it

that was pretty cool....

i've been working on this move for a while. this should help me get it down.

haha..you really look so cute playing poi.

This makes sense! I'm trying to learn the anti-spin flower and it always makes three and i was wondering why -- it's just natural for the relative speed of Poi Spin :: Arm Spin. I wonder if this is no coincidence to the relation of circles and pi (~3.14)? Any bored physicists out there?

For the triquetra/extension combo (which is proving to be really, Really hard), do you have to start from a split time butterfly?

GOT IT FIRST TRY!!!!!!!!!!! :DD

He's doing it right handed, dangit! oh well still going to try!

Is there any way you could break down the extension and anti spin part more? I'm having a lot of trouble with this

i believe this is called a trinity knot, cool move :)

How do you make echo effect ? What program you use ? Pleaseeee ❤❤❤

this is really where I need a teacher who can give me feedback because it's kind of hard to tell if I'm doing it correctly.

I know this is weird, but does anyone know the intro song? I've heard it in full before, but I can't find it.

@gustavosrap that effect is called LSD lol :P

three petal polyrhytm butterfly flower in there as well, am i right?

could someone explain how to get realy good pictures of flowers? mighn dont trail. and the effect is wicked in this video

@raggadiddlidi hahaaa totally^^ i also was reminded of Mr. Myagyi and karate kid... damn im old...

i got fluffy poi where should i put my swivels? i changed the quick link to a key ring can any one help me

its pretty hard to keep the plane once i go from extended arm to triquetra, always smacks me in the face, going crazy here :(

this is trippy shit, if i was stoned id be like... "whoah man"

@BlindParasite no sry a 2 petal flower is a cat eye

I don't know if it's a camera setting.. I think it is probably done in the editing phase

*cough* The main reason why the triquetra is powerful (and the 4 pedal flower for that matter) is not because of poi but psychedelic drugs ;-P ... Most people have seen these kind of patterns "behind closed eyelids" when they are tripping ... Whether on a natural drug or a real psychedelic drug on a descent dose ;-P ... Which is why the ancient cultures also loved it ... Anyway ... Awesome guide as always! :-D

I think I'm missing something! I have the flowers and anti spun flowers down or w/e, but I can't get the circle around it to work! Do I have to keep one hand out in front of the other or something? Is there something super basic I'm just missing? I'll keep practicing, but any advice would be super appreciated.

ARGH!! Can't get them working, dont know why.. :'(

hmm that triquetra-in-a-circle thing looks like thread the needle + butterfly put together.

how i can make those ligth efects to my videos?

yea thts the long name for it

I think the effect is called tracking and it should be in the menu of your camera.

you should learn both the moves separately and then look at this as putting them together

whenever i try to go into the triquetra, i totally loose plane control and hit myself badly, help me Mr. Myagyi (^^ dip, paint, dip^^)

These are how I bruised my face.

Looks like ghosting..
