    hmmm. one of my cabinmates at camp last year had a diablo. I'm pretty good at throwing it in the air and catching it, and this other trick, i dunno what it is.

    But yeah i'd love to get one

    You place got sell diabolo or not? How much is for one? i wanted to try it but i don't see it is sold here in my place. I saw the people in china do it, they're so cool when doing it in group/team.

    your school so cool too, have such club. happy.gif

    Go to your local juggling club and you will find plenty of diabloists about. My juggling club must have 1/4 of the people doing diablo or something like that. I think it's quite impressive but I suck when I try it myself.

    Cyshing, you should be able to get diablos from juggling shops (that's where I got mine). Apperently most cities (at least in this country) do actually have a juggling shop somewhere or other. You can also get them online from juggling retailers for example Oddballs or a similar online place.

    Handy Tips ->
    DO NOT do diablo indoors unless you don't like anything in your house and want to replace it all!

    2d anyone? or maybe even 3d?

    I do diabolo during the summers when I busk. I use two sometimes, but I prefer one for the suicides and high throws. Haven't bothered with any super intricate tricks, I leave those for juggling. wink.gif

    Gotta find some way to put pen spinning into the act. Hard to pen spin for a crowd.

    I don't actually use the diabolo, jus t a chinese yoyo. They're similar, alright, but there are noticeable differences. THe tricks are basically the same though. Our class was taught how to play it 2 years ago.....Twas' fun, playing diabolo over a volleyball net....XDXD

    I don't think it's really similar at all to yo-yo, especially when many diabolists are doing tricks that involve the diablo coming off the string or 2+ diablos (although 4 is rare!).
