Every one handed poi trick involves gripping two poi in one hand. We refer to them as the thumb end poi and the pinkie end poi regardless of the grip actually used. My preferred grip is to hold the thumb end poi between my thumb and index fingers while I hold the pinkie end poi between in ring and pinkie fingers.

Start from a superman and when moving your hand back to its native side, put the thumb end between your legs rather than across your waist. Now pull the pinkie end away from your waist such that it swings away from you and then back over your arm. As the pinkie end passes over your arm, drop it down and catch it between your legs.

Meanwhile, the thumb end poi should be stopped against the waist before it can complete more than a half a spin. From here, pull the thumb end away from your waist such that it swings away from you and then back over your arm. As the thumb end passes over your arm, drop it down and catch it between your legs. The pinkie end should be stopped against your waist before it can complete more than a half spin.

Think of the transitions across the body as being one-handed corkscrews done in a horizontal plane. You can also learn this trick in such a way that it goes around the shoulders rather than legs.
