Poi 1.5’s and pendulums

Poi Tricks; 1.5 and pendulum swings.

A 1.5 is basically the count of doing 1 and a half swings with you poi before starting the count again.

A pendulum swing is just doing a half a beat at the bottom of the circle.

In this tutorial I go over a few of the 1.5’s that I know. There are many many more out there i am sure, but this should at least get you started.

Pendulums, 1.5’s and Flowers

A pendulum with poi is describes by only spinning 50% off the circle, primarily on the bottom or top half. Think of how a pendulum swings back and forth, the concept is the same with poi.

A 1.5 is described as as the poi spinning 1 and a half a circle. Normally the poi will spin 1 beat and then a pendulum swing for the .5. This is how a 1.5 is achieved.

Flowers are describes as putting smaller circles within 1 larger circle, like the petals on a flower.
