From a weave, bring your arms apart so that you'll 'draw' two large circles, side by side. This is called a lock-out. In this case, let your strings overlap each other and tangle for a brief moment. This will let the strings wind itself up. Then pull hard on the two strings, and the glow sticks will
spin around each other quickly. Half way through, you should see your strings start to twist, that is when you should slack your strings and wait till the orbital slow down. Somewhere, it should untangle and you can resume your weave.

PS: You should not get it on your first try, nor your second. It's a trial and error thing. One day, you'll be enlightened.
