How is the durability?
This is probably one of the most important things for me when it comes to a spinning toy. The durability of the hop Ninja Poi is sturdy. I have hit them together with some force, and they have not turned of due to that. I did have to mess with the prong to hold the batteries better. But once I did this never had an issue again. They did say that if it didn’t work they would exchange it.

Overall durability I would give them: 8/10

How is the replay value?
Reply value on your led spinning toys really matters. The big question to me is how many modes does it really have? Do they actually vary different from each other?

Mode one-11 settings
Mode two-10 settings
Mode three- 10 settings
Mode four-  7 settings
Mode five- 6 settings
Mode six- 20 settings

That makes for a total of 64 settings! The modes definitely vary from each other, you get all the choices of pretty much any color you could want. I really like the fact of only having to get a set of these have having the choice of any combination of color.

Another factor to add to the list is the fact that they use AA batteries. I have so many more of these kinds of batteries then anything else. Although, I would definitely recommend using rechargeable AA’s instead of average non rechargeable, it made a huge difference for me. So far recharged AA batteries have lasted me over 8 hours of play, and the LEDs are still going strong.

Overall replay value, I would give them: 10/10

Tech Specs?
- 3 Full color LEDs
- 7 x Soft PVC outer cushion rings
- Requires a single size AA battery
- Weight: (with Battery) 102g / head
- Length = 7 inch / 175mm
- Width = 1 3/8 inch / 35mm

Performance?
The LEDs in these poi are very bright, they seem brighter then other led poi on the market (in their price range). As far as performance, orbitals I would say look the most badass with these, since there is so many modes you can play with the fact that they can make your patterns go forward or backwards depending on how fast you spin them. Flowers, extensions, look beautiful with all the various setting you get to choose from.

Overall performance value, I would give them: 10/10

 Price:
Price is $35.00 USD / Unit, so your going to want at least two of these to get down.

Overall price value, I would give them: 9/10

Final Results:

Durability: 8/10

Replay Value: 10/10

Performance Value: 10/10

Price Value: 9/10

Final  Average/Total:  9.25/10

Final Thoughts…

I really enjoy the fact that hop has come out with a new set of led poi. It will help create a market for other glow toys as well as create healthy competition and ultimately create better led toys in the market.  I also like the fact they have the option to be almost any color / design with out having to buy 10 pairs of led sticks. This is also the closest product I have seen to designing different shapes, designs, cosmos, and more with out costing thousands of dollars. Seriously though if you spend 5 mins on every setting you would end up playing with these for over 5 hours that’s pretty epic for replay value! Get them you will not be disappointed!

“About Manipulation” is a project wanted by Ministry of Manipulation. We’ve thought there was a lot of videos with people playing, and so few videos with people talking about their experiences and ideas in contact juggling. We would like to show you what’s behind a contact juggler, and what he lives with this amazing art. Hope you’ll like it.”

So you say $1000 for improving the flow arts? Awesome! So fundtheflowarts.org is a website on a mission.

The mission is as follows:

- advance the prop manipulation-based Flow Arts
- foster local Flow Arts communities
- cultivate a global community of Flow Arts practitioners

With these in mind, they have announced a pilot year of the Seed Fund –this is a grant program that will award small amounts (up to $1,000) for projects that meet these goals. The fact that is a “pilot run” means that its the first time they are offering the grants, as well a learning experience to do it most effective in the future. Of course they can’t just give away millions of dollars so make your grant entry count. Specifically they are looking for the highest potential for the broadest public impact.

The deadline is November 14th, 2011. Grant winners will be announced (hopefully) before Thanksgiving, aka November 24th, 2011.

And once you have it all filled out, you will want to send it to their email, because the form on their site is not working.

I’m guessing that you’ll want to email: info@fundtheflowarts.org , strangely enough they don’t have an email listed anywhere on the site.
