Diabolo Performance at Bukit Gambir, Muar
Surprisingly spotted this 'Forgotten Sport' at Bukit Gambir, Muar during attending a lunch at restaurant. "The Diabolo (commonly misspelled as diablo; formerly also known as "the devil on two sticks") is 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 huge variety of tricks are possible using the sticks, string, and various body parts. Multiple diabolos can be spun on a single string." You can read about Diabolo at Wiki.

You watch the performance video down below....
The performer also a Diabolo Instructor for Johor Bahru & Singapore.
I'm wondering that, how many of the young generation now know about this sport?
The performance seems fun and exciting. It's my first time to see this.

Thanks.
I saw a diabolo performance by Chinese school students last year. Quite nice. I think other cultures will find this diabolo performances fascinating.
