How to Make a Contact Ball

Step one
you can't make a contact ball. You could try but it is very difficult to make a perfect sphere.  This is OK because we leave in a world with many spheres. For example, a simple orange can be use to learn some basic contact moves. An orange is not the best option but dose work. local pet stores sell balls that can be great for contact juggling. When looking for a ball it should be from 300-500 grams and be bigger then a tennis ball. It is easier to start off bigger. Basket balls can be great practice. Overall the best option would be to find a random ball and try to learn some moves. If you feel like you could dig contact juggling buy a real contact ball. There only about $10-25 depending on what kind of ball you get. The Sil-x ball is great for beginners and not a bad price.

How to Make Poi
Making poi is super easy and cheap! All you need is water balloons, rice, and knee high socks. Colored socks are sick but any sock will work.

Step 1
Stretch the balloon by blowing it up and letting it deflate.

Step 2
Take the rice and  pour it into a balloon (a paper funnel can help) you want the balloon to be filled so it is around the size of a tennis ball. If you have a small water balloon you may need to use a pencil to push the rice down and then blow it up to make more room. Once the balloon is the right size tie the balloon.

Step 3
Repeat step two so you have two balloons of rice.

Step 4
Put rice balls in socks.

Step 5
Tie knots at the end of your socks. you may need to cut off some sock if there to long. Poi should be around the length of from your wrist to your shoulder.

Step 6
GO SPIN!!! and have fun.
