    Learn the basics of poi spinning! Butterflies are the first wall plane trick we’ve played with in this series and they are one of the most recognizable tricks in the world of poi tricks! Here, we’ll cover how to perform them as well as how to perform their close cousins: thread the needle or TTN.

    I learned thread the needle before the butterfly. Yay for learning off of watching people in college rather than going step by step. Thank you for these videos filling in the basics I skipped. And yes I hit myself between the legs a lot when I was learning.

    I saw the warning for the potential crotch damage as I was already on the ground in immense pain.
    Great tutorial still lol

    3:05 Why not wear a cup, boys? The less you have to worry about, the less stressed you'll feel, and the easier it will be to learn. Or learn this trick with a sock balled up at the end of a long sock so when you do get hit, it's not so bad

    im trying so hard to learn the thread the needle been practicing butterflies too much

  • @zizimugen4470

    I find that I get hit in the face significantly more often than I get hit in the crotch. I truly wish I got hit in the crotch for at least half the time that it hit my face. Five minutes of groaning is a bit better than dealing with a busted lip or a bruised eye for five hours.

      Tilt your hands so that your planes are sliiiiiightly off center, then they won’t hit each other :))

    Drex, I love you to death, really you are wonderful for sharing all of this sweet knowledge with us, but I couldn’t help but notice you dissing JK Rowling in one of your videos and calling her problematic when referring to the word “muggle.” I hope you realize that you just said that men have testicles in this video. Don’t you realize that makes you transphobic according to your own definition? Now - are you going to realize that she has said nothing wrong or incorrect, or are you going to apologize to testicle-havers?
    Sometimes reality sucks but it’s just reality, man.
