Drex’s Tech Poi Blog #149: Horizontal cateyes in split-time opposites

I got a request on my recent video on the horizontal cateye vs CAP hybrid to describe how I was doing a pair of horizontal cateyes that I was using to switch side to side on the aforementioned hybrid. Here they are demoed--essentially they’re a pair of cateyes performed in split time opposites and can easily be thought of as being a pair of floats in which then hands and poi heads switch orientation as they go back and forth. It’s a little tricky because the planes the cateyes operate in are at a slight angle to each other.
