I highly recommended making a practice rig if anybody wants to learn this stuff.  I'll try to take a picture of it here in a bit.
Here are my blue balls  :o

ah ah ! chris you rule !!

here in france Poï used to be considered as a minor act..... associated with "juggling without risks" or "easy  street act for bucks" even with fire....
but now with the uprising of anti-spin and isolation , it has become a true juggling skill .... we 've worked a bit with Lapin on isolation of tops , but it's difficult to render the optical effects on stage
here with you worm hole i think you could slow down things a little and move the whole trick a little higher ... for the end i suggest dropping both tops in a hat.. clean and fine ending

just what comes to mind ...

OK......I will say the obvious.  I can tell from the photo that your blue balls have been used a lot.  Now one of your balls is busted.

Jim - I have been watching a French Poi swinger a lot lately... "Lindzee":

I agree, the trick is all about the presentation, and slower is better... it's actually harder, too!
The crossover thing is what poi folks do while doing a backbend, with the poi spinning over their face... called the "Matrix", like Neo's scene dodging bullets...

Mike - thank you for saying it so nobody else had too.  ;D
