Starting with a clockwise helicopter, reach to the center of the main baton with your hand stick and bounce it up and tug it to the right as you are bouncing it. It is a tapping motion -- the rhythm is the same as the rate of the spin.

Using ONLY ONE HAND STICK, clasp both hands together and point both fingers (as in regular grip) along the hand stick. With the main baton horizontal on the ground in front of you, lift the baton from an off-center position off the ground. Flip the end over and catch it on the other side (similar to a one handed tic-toc). This move requires extra energy on your part but builds your strength for all the other Stix moves.

Lay two batons horizontally in front of you on the ground. Holding a hand stick in each hand, reach down and place the hand stix off center, toward the middle, under each baton. Lift both batons at the same time in an outward flip, doing a one handed tic-toc with each hand. After this, try spinning both batons either in the same or opposite directions. Persistence is the way to approach doubles. You will drop it a lot at first, but just like all the Stix moves the motions magically come to you after playing a lot. Doubles is the ultimate challenge and the ultimate fun.
