I almost always win on a skill crane.

I enjoy jump roping, but it's not on there, so I just clicked on the other option.

  I can walk the dog and go around the world with a yo-yo, but not much else.  I also love tops, but I haven't touched one for a while.

A diabolo is like a chinease yo-yo I think.

Mine is a red Phionix (spelling?). It's put out by the Duncan Yo-Yo Company.

Here's a video of diabolos in action from Cirque Du Soleil's Quidam:



Amazing, isn't it?

MatthiasMan

Um, I guess. I can't see it the video. I've seen it in real life, and right next to the person. It's actually really simple.

I've used one of those! Those tings are tricky! It was really fun though.

It's not hard once you get used to it.
