poi resources

homeofpoi.com

homeofpoi 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.

flowtoys.com

flowtoys.com: Sean and Prisna at flowtoys are wonderful people and good friends friends of mine. They are kinetic toy enthusiasts and their flowlights are currently my favorite LED toys available. Also, if you click through playpoi and buy something, I get a percentage! To top it off they are selling and wholesaling our DVDs :)

The flowlights were designed from scratch by Sean and Prisna and co. This took a lot of vision, time, money, and love. I'm quite inspired that people from my own circle of friends are doing this kind of production, and I am hoping that I can help rally the community behind them (which will be easy as long as they keep making the best toys.)

feuershow.de

feuershowFeuershow.de is a German gear shop run by the wonderful Sam and friends. We are very impressed by a few of their products, such as Lycopodium Powder, which is actually the pollen from a flower, Dragon's Tongues, which let you do safe fire-breathing with the Lycopodium, Jelly-Fix Powder, for safe fire sculpture, High Quality Wick-Tape, the Ball-Bearing Swivels that I rave about, their Amazing Pyrofluid and Fire-Toy Fluid (which can be shipped abroad), and the rubber ducks.

Spherculism

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.
