I was using normal string, but I think it is a good idea to change the string quite often, as it will get worn/melted a bit every time you juggle. Always have spare sticks around, and someone on the side of the stage that your diabolo is spinning towards. This person should also have a fire extinguisher or similar to take care of any nasty surprises. I had a luxury of having a trained stunt man on stage with me, but any person with hands and some basic understanding of fire should do…

Huub Cooijmans‘ show pairs technical skill with illusion to produce a very unique diabolo performance. Also, any show that chucks a diabolo out of a box is an instant classic in my mind. This definitely looks like a show you should see if you have the opportunity.

Cheers to Martijn for doing a bang-up job on creating a very worthy promo for Huub’s show.
