Homeofpoi.com is a major hub for all things poi, offering a wide selection of gear, photo galleries, event listings, and the most popular english poi-community forums in the universe. They are also an amazingly well-run company, a great group of people, and if you click through to them and buy something, we get a percentage of sales! You can also use referral code "sdecafingdengbmmqu" whenever you shop from them. We realize that it´s hard to pronounce "sdecafingdengbmmqu."

We particularly recommend Colecord (the ultimate poi string!),Fluffy Practice Poi as a great beginner set, Rainbow Strobe LED Poi (if you can´t afford flowtoys), Drew´s incredible Contact Juggling Book (we know, it´s not about poi but it will make you better at all forms of manipulation), the cathedral oval-link fire-poi for fire spinning (upgrade to Mega Heads if you want big fire), and of course the Poi Pendants! There are too many products to list, actually, so just go browse around.

domorepoi.com offers a shwack of online tutorials

spherculism.net is the brainchild of the gifted and loveable Matt Terry, who uses it to foster community, related to poi and other "sphercular" things. At playpoi, we think it&undefined;s a very, very good name for a website, as spherculism can mean so many things. We also like Matt&undefined;s dreadlocks, and nobody else really wibbles.

Oh, and Spherculism has a following of poiple who are very dedicated to getting very fancy with poi.

Poicommunity.com is the wonderful community site run by the amazing Yuta. It offers discussion forums as well as online lessons. Yuta has put a lot of energy into the poi community in Japan, purely from his big-hearted love of poi and people. Check it out.

Salza.se is run by very sweet Swedish people who love poi and fire and parties. They make the amazing "Isis Heads" which I personally use for my fire poi. Lots of flame for the weight. They support all the poi and fire events in Sweden and show up to make sure everybody has a good time at other events like the EJC :)

The Play Festival is a popular English event. There is a focus on toys, such as poi, hula-hoops, staffs, hats, juggling, pegs, umbrellas, and just about anything and everything else that is fun. If you can, go.

Burn Crew Concept: Vive La France! Burn Crew Concept are an association of very talented, creative, and loveable spinners and performers in Paris. Ooh, do they have some talent!

Tamingfire.com offers a great selection of online video tutorials, community forums, gear, and information about their performances. It's quite an impressive site.
