I know Michael has been working on a staff/flag hybrid which needs a similar swivel-solution. You might want to ping him for ideas as well.
I've seen some like what you're talking about, just smaller, as I'm sure you have. I think it'll work, but for the size you want, you'd have to have the hold/swivel on one corner, and then the other corner (on same side, basically front of the fla...

Profile Information
- How do you define "skill toys"?
- any prop or object which require skill to use, and brings entertainment or amusment to yourself/ or others.
- What is your skill toy of choice?
- Well I've been doing poi the longest, and that's the first thing I usually pick up when playing, but I also hoop, meteor, fans, staff(Kinda) double staff, contact juggling, toss juggling, and the levitation wand.
I'd like to be at least well acquainted with every toy i can.
- How long have you been spinning/hooping/juggling/etc?
- Before I ever learned to play i was a fire breather back in the summer of 05. That Oct. I Started spinning poi. The beginning of 06 is the first time i tried staff and its been a love/hate relationship ever since, that year i also had my first encounter with contact juggling I was gifted my first sphere it was wooden and weighed nothing. In mid 07 i started hooping i surprised myself because like other "guys" I was biased against the hoop I started Contact again that year and found myself much more interested in learning it. last year i found myself toss juggling , and double staffing
- Have you learned to play yet? What introduced you to this world of motion?
- I found my beginnings as a cast member at a Renaissance faire. While work the faire, i learned of a fire troupe that needed some safety technicians for the shows that year.I volunteered and that was where i first learned about the fire arts, i was mesmerized by the fire poi, staff, fans, fire eating, and finally fire breathing. by the end of the summer and the end of faire, I'd learned fire breathing , and was a fill in performer the show. the next year i joined Celtic Fyre outright.
- Where is your favorite place to "play"?
- At a park or in my yard, but the best place is where ever my friends are.
- How do you find your "Spin-Zen"? What helps you get your groove on?
- i think music helps at first it helps you loosen up, after that i try to let my consciousness sift away till I'm just in the moment. sometime its harder to achieve that state than others.
- Why do you do it? What motivates you to spin/dance?
- i spin for myself and the thrill of performing I'm addicted.

shadows fall, on doubts internalized
