The UltraPoi Flow Guide
Level Up Your Flow: 18 Intermediate Props Worth Exploring
More control. More creative directions. Significantly more reasons to say, "One more try," and accidentally practice for another hour.
Once the fundamentals begin to feel natural, the question changes. It is no longer only, "Can I do the move?" It becomes, "What else can I make this movement become?" UltraPoi's Intermediate Props collection brings together LED poi, Flow Stars, hoops, staffs, wands, juggling tools, compact skill toys, and fire props for artists ready to expand their movement vocabulary.
This guide features every product currently represented in the collection, while giving the biggest spotlight to the props that create the clearest new paths for progression.
Intermediate does not mean intimidating.
MORE CONTROL.
MORE OPTIONS.
MORE YOU.
The right next prop should not merely be more expensive or more complicated. It should unlock a meaningful new challenge: contact movement, cleaner tosses, larger visual shapes, full-body transitions, programmable light, or a new discipline entirely. It should make you curious enough to pick it up again tomorrow.
Lane 1: Poi With More Possibilities
Go Beyond Basic Circles
Poi progression gets especially interesting when the prop starts supporting contact rolls, tosses, catches, isolations, cleaner planes, and more intentional visual geometry.
LED Contact Poi
OrbPoi LED Contact Poi
The spherical heads make OrbPoi a natural bridge from traditional spinning into tosses, juggling, wraps, and contact rolls. The round shape also creates consistent-looking trails from more angles.
Best for: Spinners who want one versatile set that can grow from fundamentals into contact and toss-heavy flow.

LED Stick Poi
Helix Poi Pro
Helix Poi Pro trades the round poi head for a longer illuminated form, producing bold lines and a distinctly technical look. The shape rewards plane control, timing, martial-arts-inspired combinations, and crisp pattern work.
Best for: Artists who love line patterns, fast visual changes, nunchaku-inspired movement, and programmable LED variety.

Personalized Setup
Customized OrbPoi
When your preferred length and visual style are becoming part of your technique, customization stops being cosmetic. Different rope lengths and color choices let you build an OrbPoi set that feels more deliberately yours.
Best for: Dedicated OrbPoi spinners who already know the setup dimensions and look they prefer.
Build Customized OrbPoi →Lane 2: Shape, Illusion & Full-Body Flow
Change the Object, Change the Conversation
A new prop family can reveal abilities your current prop never asks you to use. Suddenly your hands, shoulders, torso, footwork, and stage presence all have different jobs.
LED Flow Star
Ultra GlowStar Bundle
A Flow Star turns passing, folding, spinning, catches, and geometric framing into a moving visual centerpiece. The removable rechargeable LED system adds nighttime impact while preserving a fabric prop that can be maintained between adventures.
Best for: Artists drawn to big shapes, group passing, visual pattern play, and a prop that feels unlike poi or hoop.

Levitation Wand
Ultra Levitation Wand
The wand invites illusion, isolation, floating effects, contact, and character-driven performance. Small changes in hand position and body angle can completely change what the audience believes the object is doing.
Best for: Dancers, theatrical performers, illusion lovers, and anyone who wants subtle control to produce a large visual payoff.

Contact Staff
3D LED Contact Staff
Contact staff moves the center of control away from the hands and across the body. Rolls, balances, wraps, fishtails, and continuous transitions make your shoulders, arms, neck, back, and footwork part of the apparatus.
Best for: Full-body movers who enjoy momentum, balance, martial-arts influence, and patient technical practice.

Programmable Fiber Optics
BitWhip + RGB Critter
A fiber-optic whip trades rigid geometry for sweeping texture. Programmable modes and playlists make it especially appealing for performers who want choreography, costuming, or character to work together with the light design.
Best for: Festival flow, cosplay, dance, photography, and artists who want app-controlled visual customization.
Explore BitWhip + RGB Critter →Lane 3: Hoop Progression
One Circle, Hundreds of Directions
Intermediate hooping can mean faster off-body work, smaller diameters, more intentional balance, better travel options, or a light show that responds to the performance instead of merely following it.
Remote-Controlled LED Hoop
UltraHoop Remote
The remote lets you treat the light pattern as part of the performance. That is useful for choreographed moments, filming, matching music, or simply refusing to interrupt a good flow because the hoop chose the wrong mood.
Best for: Hoopers building stage routines, filming content, or wanting more direct control over color and pattern changes.

Adjustable Practice Hoop
Grow with Your Flow Sectional Hoop
A size-changing sectional hoop makes progression tangible. Begin with a larger, slower configuration, then reduce the diameter as your control improves and you want a faster, more demanding response.
Best for: Beginner-to-intermediate hoopers who want one practice tool that can continue challenging them over time.
Explore Grow with Your Flow →Lane 4: Juggling & Compact Skill Toys
Small Props, Extremely Honest Feedback
Juggling and yo-yo practice have a charming habit of revealing exactly where your timing, rhythm, and hand placement need attention. The prop is not judging you. It is simply dropping the evidence.
LED Juggling
Zeekio LED Juggling Balls
A three-ball cascade already rewards rhythm and consistency. Add illuminated modes and the same pattern becomes performance-ready, camera-friendly, and much easier for an audience to read after dark.
Best for: Jugglers moving from daylight drills into LED performance without abandoning a familiar ball format.

Yo-Yo Skill Toy
Duncan Freehand ONE Yo-Yo
A compact skill toy can be the perfect side quest. Yo-yo play develops string awareness, precision, timing, and trick sequencing in a format that travels almost anywhere and requires very little performance space.
Best for: Flow artists who enjoy technical repetition, portable practice, and learning a completely different manipulation system.

Not every useful intermediate prop needs a full spotlight. These five options round out the collection with daylight hooping, premium juggling practice, footwork, contact poi, and club training.
Lane 5: Fire Performance
When the Visual Effect Is Actual Fire
Fire props can create unforgettable performances, but the progression is not simply "LED prop, now add fuel." It requires dedicated safety knowledge, controlled conditions, an appropriate spotter, and disciplined practice with an unlit prop first.
Fire Poi
Moonblaze Fire Poi Set
Moonblaze Fire Poi brings familiar poi pathways into a high-consequence performance environment. Durable woven heads, chain construction, and adjustable sizing are only useful after the spinner has built control, safety habits, and a proper burn process.
Best for: Experienced poi spinners training under knowledgeable fire performers with a complete safety setup.

Fire Fans
Moonblaze Fire Fans
Fire fans combine dance framing, arm pathways, poses, finger spins, and flame geometry. The lotus-style silhouette creates instant stage presence, while the paired format rewards symmetry and controlled transitions.
Best for: Fan dancers who have rehearsed unlit technique and are ready to train within a structured fire-safety environment.
