An idea I was playing with on the long road home from Africa--contact juggling frequently makes use of transfers between points of the body. I tried finding similar transfers with contact poi utilizing the extra variable of the momentum of the tether and this was the simplest example I could find. It's essentially a transfer between forearms and hand cradles accomplished by treating the handle of the poi as if it is a pendulum going back and forth. Right now I can only keep it stable for a couple repetitions, but Ted (Elemensce) has a cleaner version of it posted on his recent "Are we in Contact?" video.
