 (d) means for increasing the visual effect of the performance.    
   
   
       8 . The symmetrical poi of  claim 7  wherein said means for increasing the visual effect is selected from a group of decoration strips, phosphorous glowing paint, light sources, flashlights, fire torches, powder dispersals, or smoke dispersals.  
   
   
       9 . The symmetrical poi of  claim 8  wherein said light source for increasing the visual effect, emits colored light in which said light color is dependent on said symmetrical poi's rotational direction.  
   
   
       10 . The symmetrical poi of  claim 1  further comprising: 
 (e) means for increasing the sound effect of the performance.    
   
   
       11 . The symmetrical poi of  claim 1  wherein said first weight has a mass of at least ten times larger than said flexible long connector's mass.  
   
   
       12 . The symmetrical poi of  claim 2  wherein said bag's shape is selected from a group of pear shape, egg shape, apple shape, cube shape, and loop or bagel shape.  
   
   
       13 . A poi for safely performing a wide variety of juggling moves, the poi comprising: 
 (a) a flexible long connector wherein the length of said connector is at least 40 centimeters, for enabling the performance of juggling moves such as moves around a juggler's body or around a part of a juggler's body, or close to a juggler's body, or by throwing into the air, or throwing into the air and catching, by one juggler or by more than one juggler.    (b) a first weight disposed at one end of said flexible long connector having reversibly deformable soft structure and having dimensions that fit in a human hand for easy grasping, easy releasing and easy catching.    (c) a second weight disposed at the second end of said flexible long connector having a mass of at least one third of said first weight mass, having a reversibly deformable soft structure and having dimensions that fit in a human hand for easy grasping, easy releasing and easy catching.    
   
   
       14 . The poi of  claim 13 , wherein each of said first weight and said second weight includes; 
 (i) a bag.    (ii) grains filling said bag.    
   
   
       15 . The Poi of  claim 12  wherein said second weight has a mass of at least two thirds of said first weight mass, having a reversibly deformable soft structure and having dimensions fits to a human hand for easy grasping, easy releasing and easy catching;  
   
   
       16 . The poi of  claim 15 , wherein each of said first weight and said second weight includes; 
 (i) a bag.    (ii) grains filling said bag.    
   
   
       17 . The symmetrical poi of  claim 14  wherein said bag's shape is selected from a group of: pear shape, egg shape, apple shape, cube shape, and loop or bagel shape.  
   
   
       18 . A method for enabling a juggler to perform with a symmetrical poi new moves such as throwing and catching, switching hands, swinging around the center, the method comprising the steps of: 
 (a) providing the juggler with a symmetrical poi, said symmetrical poi including:    (i) a flexible long connector wherein the length of said connector is at least 40 centimeters for performing a wide variety of moves by the juggler;    (ii) a first weight disposed at one end of said flexible long connector having reversibly deformable soft structure, and having dimensions that fit in a human hand for easy grasping, easy releasing and easy catching;    (iii) a second weight disposed at the second end of said flexible long connector, having substantially identical mass to said first weight having a reversibly deformable soft structure, and having dimensions that fit in a human hand for easy grasping, easy releasing and easy catching;    (b) holding said first weight in one of the juggler's hands.
