If you're really truly interested in mastering this hobby and applying yourself to learning it, here's what I would recommend:
Good luck with your journey! It's been one of the greatest I've embarked on in my adult life :)
Here are some books I would recommend on the topic:
Mastery by George Leonard (talks a lot about mindset and learning to love the plateau)
Talent is Overrated by Geoffrey Colvin (gives a lot of pointers when it comes to deliberate practice)
So Good They Can't Ignore You by Cal Newport (lots of counterintuitive but useful info on developing skills)
The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle (lots of great info about what to look for in a good coach/teacher)
I am using these rainbow poi (they are sort of the 'cheapie' model, you can choose between an RGB strobe or the rainbow fade when you order the. I prefer these to the multifunction poi, as they are sturdier and less likely to malfunction. Plus, I just like the rainbow fade) with these chain tethers. While there are more expensive chains availble, these are the best I have ever used, and I highly recommend them. IF you want to go chains, of course. Orbitals are sort of tough with chains, but I like to practice exclusively with chains as I am practicing to spin fire, and you know. Chains.
The only thing about these poi is that they are fairly heavy, and the material, while yielding, can still give you a really good whack.
My girlfriend uses these poi when she spins, and they are really nice and soft, can take even more of a beating than mine, but are a little light. They also have the benefit of being able to strobe, fade, or pause at a single colour all in a VERY sturdy package. I prefer a heavier poi myself, as I feel it helps you play around with the inertia, but your mileage may vary depending on what you are looking for.
It's hard without a fid but doable. Fids are cheap on Amazon though: WELLINGTON CORDAGE S6034 Splicing Fid, 3-Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R2POFW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ZVaxxbYDKVRHC
But yeah in short you pull one end of the technora through a split ring, quick link, or through the poi head ring itself, then push the rope into itself quite a ways (the entire length if you really want to be safe, but like 8" or so works for me). Friction holds it all together. Definitely YouTube a tutorial as Drex mentioned.
A pair of Pod Poi can be a bit expensive ($134.95), but are the standard work-horse that most serious poi spinners get once they know they're going to keep spinning and need a solid toy. They come with a lifetime warranty like all FlowToys products.
For a more introductory set, you could try Spinballs - only like $25, but still soft, still light up, and give you an idea of whether or not the kid will be interested in continuing.
I've met the owners of both companies and in both cases they are heavily involved in the flow community, attend/participate/volunteer with flow events, and are just really nice people.
Just to clear this up. There is a trick in poi called an orbital which looks super amazing with LEDs. There is also an LED toy that is called an Orbital which you linked to a video of.
Great post. A good way to avoid spin offs altogether is to use a condiment bottle to apply your fuel. You can apply the perfect amount and won't need to spin off. I recommend that you do this over an empty can or something to catch any drips.
My wonderful girlfriend got it for me! I believe it's something like this http://www.amazon.com/Generic-Crystal-Magic-Effect-Lighting/dp/B00857DO62/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1394385039&sr=8-2&keywords=dmx+light
Thanks for the suggestions! I do want to get a set of pod poi, in the meantime I'll see what I can do about weighting the ends and see how I like it.
Edit: these are the poi I'm using, they were ~$13:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OI578M6
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5fEp0wpKFw
This was done with two light duty chains formed into a loop at the end. I used several of rolls (5 ish) of the 0000 grade steel wool. At the end of the video you can see that the chain was red hot from how hot the steel wool got. You can also see in the video I'm using very little protective gear (No gloves, no facemask etc.) I also set the neighbors yard on fire.
https://www.amazon.com/Steel-Super-Rhodes-American-Finish/dp/B074MDTWQR?ref_=bl_dp_s_web_2593612011
​
Do not be stupid like I was. I got lucky because if one of those chains whipped back up and hit me it would have branded me.
​
Edit:
When you unroll the steel wool, you have to fluff it in order for it to burn properly. If it's tightly compacted it will not burn quickly enough as enough air cannot get to it for the oxidation to happen rapidly enough. Too loosely packed and it will burn much too rapidly and fly off in one large mass of molten metal.
The cage sort of design you're describing might be better suited for sparkle poi made from lump coal charcoal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa7f11SJxBI < Cages

Something like this and any standard USB-driven battery pack thing:
https://www.amazon.com/Super-Power-Supply-Android-eReader/dp/B00ROA3GB4
This type of plug is called "barrel jack" to just find a usb -> barrel jack cord that fits
Edit: Related amazon link
This is what you need. Its a 5v step up to 12v regulator. You need to make sure the tip will fit, but this is all you need and a battery pack.
https://www.amazon.com/KUNCAN-Adjustable-Step-up-Regulator-Converter/dp/B01AY3XLEY
Lights on the contact poi? I mean, I've never personally heard of that. Maybe putting Nite Ize in the pomgrips, but that's about it.
Now, if you want LED poi that are made for contact, you have a few options.
---
EDIT: btw, someone here is shadowbanned. Currently this posts says there are 2 comments, but only mine shows.
According to Amazon, the big ball is a tennis ball and the length of the rope from inside ball to ball is 22 1/2 inches. They are used like a foam roller on your muscles but I don't see why these wouldn't make some decent poi for someone beginning.
The "standard" for led poi are podpoi. Everyone has a pair.
https://www.amazon.com/Podpoi-LED-Poi-Favorite-Glowpoi/dp/B00CJJ67N4
Also, it's "spinning" poi, not swinging. And lastly, what did you mean by stick poi?
OH HEY! I was doing some searching... if you can add one of these things between two washers, you may get some swivel action out of it: http://www.amazon.com/Koyo-FNT-821-Bearing-Capacity-1-43lbf/dp/B007EE5PT6/ref=pd_sim_sbs_indust_4?ie=UTF8&amp;refRID=1E1V6WK0PQMN0PX1XJHQ
