Diabolo
The Diablo is made up of two control handles(sticks) joined with a piece of string. The diabolo looks like a double plunge, spun on a string -it' s rather like a large yo-yo. Starting with a simple method to spin the diabolo you then progress to learning tricks. Under the leg , into the air, leading to the tricky suicide where the stick's are released.

Devil Stick
Called the Devil stick because it is devilishly difficult. The devil stick consists of two hand sticks and a larger stick which is spun between them. The devil stick is not unlike the diabolo but the control sticks have no string. The devil stick is manipulated by hitting the large devil stick close to the sticks end.
