How to do the 3D Diabolo Trick

By: Rodolpho Eckhardt The diabolo, which commonly misspelled as diablo, is also known as "the devil on two sticks". A juggling prop consisting of a spool which is whirled and tossed on a string tied to two sticks held one in each hand. A large variety of tricks are possible using the sticks, string, and various body parts to compliment. Multiple diabolos can be spun on a single string in order to dazzle the audiance. Diabolos come in different shapes and materials. Large/heavier diabolos tend to retain their momentum for longer, whereas small/light diabolos can be thrown higher and are easier to accelerate to high speeds. Rubber diabolos are less prone to breakage. One-sided diabolos are also available but are more difficult to use.
