My First Diabolo Book

Although the diabolo has existed for hundreds of years, it has never been performed as dynamically as it is today in the hands of diabolists such as Donald Grant. Although Donald is one of the most innovative of modern diabolists, in "My First Diabolo Book" he lays down the foundations which any new diabolist will want to learn. Starting with getting the diabolo spinning, Donald explains the various control techniques before providing step by step instructions to a complete diabolo repertoire, including throws, body moves, string tricks, and an introduction to stick grinds and "suicides" - giving a taste of the more advanced tricks and moves which are possible. Donald's entertaining style and illustrations ensure that first-time diabolo owners will start out on the right foot - with handsticks ready and a smile on their face !
