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.

The 'Dumbell'

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?
