Gear Reviews

Homeofpoi.com continues to launch all the toys we've been asking for, including Pendulum Poi, the practice poi used by several of my favorite spinners. You can order them as a full set or find the parts on HoP or your local juggling store.

Flowtoys has officially launched Podpoi! These are the best LED poi I've played with yet! They're soft! The flowcord basically disappears into the poi. They are bright! They are rechargeable! These are awesome! I definitely recommend clicking through and getting a pair! This is a big step in the evolution of LED poi. 

Oh, and if you love me and want me to be supported as I make more poi videos and resources, note the image with the important information related to your shopping experience. But remember to NOT post such information on the internet. If you do, it get's deactivated and that's such a pain! I would love to contribute a lot to the poi world this year and your support goes a long way!

Homeofpoi.com is again producing just the kind of gear the spinners have asked for. This time they've created super streamlined silicon ball handles with embedded swivels. Simple. Minimal. Easy. We approve!  If you like them, go buy a pair of ball handles alone, or buy a pair of cone-poi with ball-handles!

Over a year ago we filmed G in the park in Toronto using Erik's Flag Poi. Here's the resulting video! The flag poi keep getting better so if you feel inspired, go buy some! And use PLAYPOI2012 to save 10%! 

Home of Poi has launched their answer to Flowlights: NinjaPoi! Roughly the same cost of a pair of Flowpoi, NinjaPoi have the advantage of a wider range of colors within each poi. They are also brighter than the old flowlights. This looks like true competition for the Flowlights. 

Meanwhile, Flowtoys has their own answer to NinjaPoi: G2 Flowlights! All the new lights have "superbold" mode, which appears to be just as bright as the NinjaPoi. Flowlights have the advantage of being modular. I.e. you can use your flowlights as poi, staffs, or any other toy offered by Flowtoys. 

Both options take rechargeable batteries. We particularly like the way Flowtoys set up their cords, as it's very minimal. Meanwhile we like the fact that NinjaPoi have very accessible buttons. 

We just got the new Pro-Series Twista Fire Poi from Home of Poi, and we like them! Here's our (slightly fuzzy) review. 

We're happy to announce that Homeofpoi.com is now selling s-staffs. They look great. We recommend this as an awesome art form to go along with your love of poi :)

Flowtoys has launched their new modular system! This is great news for anybody who plays with more than one kind of toy. In this video, Sean and Prisna give a demo of the whole system! If you like what you see, go straight to flowtoys.

In recent news, Flowtoys has launched a flowlight with a full spectrum of colors!

We often get emails asking us what fire poi are the best for your first set.  The answer is a little different for everyone, but we've tracked down what we call the best first set of fire poi!  Read more to find out why!

The flow-wand is an awesome toy that's slowly exploding over the face of the earth.  Those who wield it instantly realize their hidden fancy-dancey powers and transform into sorcerers who mesmerize all who look upon them.  Really.  We see it all the time!

If you decide to order a flow-wand, you can enter "pali" during checkout to save 5%!  Happy wanding!

Home of Poi is now offering their Pro Series Chain Cords and handles, and they are officially awesome! Light weight and strong: exactly what we wanted the shops to come out with. 

They are offering complete pro series fire poi with cathedral heads or mega cathedral heads. They also offer the pro series chains with double loops handles. 

A review of the best Flag Poi Nick's ever played with, and a surprise ending.

Two options to buy:  Direct from Erik (use "playpoi" as your referral code), or from Homeofpoi.com!

You asked and asked, and now here they are: Colored Flames: Tribal Neon Fire Dyes!  Home of Poi looked far and wide before choosing Tribal Neon, and the colors are very strong.

When you use any type of flame dye, please read the directions carefully and handle with extreme caution.

Check it out: The new Crystalpoi from flowtoys.com! This makes an awesome and very durable pair of rechargeable LED poi. Make sure you get the "flow mass" covers to add a little weight. Both flowlights and crystal cases are now available on homeofpoi.com.

These are our very favorite poi heads, Isis fire heads from salza.se!  They give you very big beautiful flames and are surprisingly light for their size. For the best possible rig we recommend using them with pro series fire chains from homeofpoi.com.

If you order a pair from Salza, please write "PLAYPOI SENT ME" in the comments field so we can keep finding and telling you about awesome stuff!
