That's because you haven't made them yet.  ;D
Seriously, there are not many that I have found.
Search Daveid's you tube channel if you haven't already, otherwise just make something up. 

Hint:  poi.

If somebody can do two tops is Gerardo:

In 2009 at worlds I attempted to do nothing but two top tricks while on stilts.  As you can imagine, some of my two top tricks fell apart and I ended up finishing with one top.  But you can look at this video (thanks Jorge) and get the idea. 



Some of the tricks I remember doing include: 2 top merry go round; 2 top figure eight; 2 tops around the body (or mostly my head); 2 tops upside down (I lost it here in the video); one top just off the palm of the hand and boomerang the second top into that hand; 2 tops on front and back of the hand; one top merry go round and boomeranging the second top into that hand; 2 top hacky tops; 2 top curls and 2 top juggle.

My two top efforts on stilts ended when I only tried to pick up one top at the end.

hey neff you stole my trick, lol. that was the trick i was talking about. unfortuanitly i did not post my video of it before you did. good job though. i now can land the tops successfully after rolling into the 3 beat mgr. i guess tomorrow i will have to make a video of it with the tops landing in my hands. the trick is not that hard, as long as you dont hit your arms with the tops as you are swinging them.
