Poi Spinning
by Michal Kahn
The comprehensive guide to Poi Spinning,
144 pages of clearly illustrated instruction
from Britain's leading teacher.
"This is a comprehensive collection
of poi tricks ranging from beginner level
to very advanced. It soon becomes obvious
that the author is a very experienced
artist and workshop leader. Clear, concise
explanations and precise guidelines on
how to overcome difficulties make learning
easy, as does the presentation of the
book: precise drawings illustrate each
step, and the main points are printed
in bold face so that you can read them
from a distance (making it possible for
you to practise and read at the same time).
Beginners are encouraged at an early stage
to create sequences of tricks, and cross
references to tricks elsewhere in the
book also inspire you to link tricks together.
The book also gives ideas on how to develop
your own moves, how to design a choreography
or how to put together an act. One chapter
is devoted to fire, including advice on
equipment, materials and safety."

Compendium of Club Juggling
by Charlie Dancey
The companion volume to the “Encyclopaedia
of Ball Juggling” is written and

it is. An uncountable continuum of technique,
trickery and trade secrets make this book
essential reading for club jugglers; there
is masses on passing patterns as well
as solo patterns, everything is cross-referenced
to the point of absurdity and squarely
aimed at everybody from the total beginner
to the complete expert. 248 pages.
