Lollypop on Left Stick |
|
(Needed for this trick are sticks that have a small enough end so it can fit under the axle. Wooden stricks are usually too big and won't fit to the center of the diabolos hub.) |
(This trick works best with a bearing diabolo, but it is possible with a solid-axled diabolo that has a wider hub, clean slick string and lots of spin.) |
1) Start with good speed and do a Righthand Wrap. Use the Righthand Wrap- to gain even more speed.
2) Point your Leftstick to the right and down at the diabolo's axle. Hold that stick there.
3) Gradually lift you Rightstick so the diabolo gets closer and closer to the Leftstick's string end.
4) Lift the diabolo just a bit higher than the Leftstick. Note that there is a wrap of string around the axle. That is where you are going to touch the Leftstick end to. Touch the axle opposite the string that goes to the Rightstick. Be careful not to touch the edge of the cups, just the point of the stick on the axle.
(It is important to keep the Leftstick at the same angle as the string that goes to Rightstick.)
5) As the Rightstick (and Diabolo) rises make very sure that the 'string' END of your Leftstick is touching the axle opposite the string going to the Rightstick. The diabolo is going to end up sitting on the Leftstick, so keep it in position as you rotate the Leftstick underneath the rising diabolo.
6) Continue to lift with the Rightstick until the Diabolo is above the Leftstick. The Leftstick has to be perpendicular and it is supporting the weight of the diabolo.
7) The diabolo will amazingly balance on the Leftstick while it is help straight upward.
9) Unwrap diabolo and the Amazing Lollypop trick is complete!

1) After doing the Lollypop on Left Stick, hold out the Right Handstick horizontally.
2) Place the bottom of the Left stick's handle on the end of the Right stick. Note: Many handle bottoms will work for this, but some sticks are too slick for this.
3) Let go of the Left Stick so it is balanced on the end of the Right stick. Watch the top of the diabolo to keep it balanced.
4) To leave trick, grab the right stick back with right hand and let diabolo fall between stick. The diabolo will stay on the string because of the string wrap it is in.

Lollypop on Right Stick |

(Needed for this trick are sticks that have a small enough end so it can fit under the axle. Wooden stricks are usually too big and won't fit to the center of the diabolos hub.) |
(This trick works best with a bearing diabolo, but it is possible with a solid-axled diabolo that has a wider hub, clean slick string and lots of spin.) |
1) Start with high spin.
2) Put a Righthand Wrap on the diabolo.
3) Raise the Left handstick so the diabolo rises level with the Right hand stick.
4) Point the Right handtstick left pointing horizontally at the diabolo's axle. Turn your body so you are facing Leftward.
5) Touch the end of the right handstick to the center of the axle and make sure it is perpendictular to the diabolo. Contol the location of the diabolo with the left holding the stick high and the string tight.
6) Gradually lift the diabolo up, all the while with the right handstick's point perpendictular to the diabolo. As the diabolo rises the Right handstick angles more and more to point upward (still touching the center of the axle.)
7) Continue raising the diabolo until the Right stick is under the diabolo and in the lollypop position.

Sticks doing the Upside Down Lollypop. (Look @ Step 2) |
(Needed for this trick are sticks that have a small enough end so it can fit under the axle. Wooden stricks are usually too big and won't fit to the center of the diabolos hub.) |
(This trick works best with a bearing diabolo, but it is possible with a solid-axled diabolo that has a wider hub, clean slick string and lots of spin.) |
1) From step 7 of the Lollypop on Right Stick, look for the loose string that is hanging down from the diabolo. Remember you are facing LEFT. See step 4 of Lollypop on Right Stick.
2) The loose string should be coming off the top of the diabolo's axle and coming toward you as you face LEFT. (Remember you are looking left and the Right side of the verticle stick is what you now face. References are to the beginning position of the trick.) Allow the loose string to lay agains the Right side of the verticle Right handstick. You'll have to open your fingers up so the string can lay against the whole length of the stick.
3) Replace your grip on the right handstick so to hold down the string against the right side of the right handstick. Make sure the loose string is now TIGHT from the top of the diabolo's axle to where your right fingers are holding it down. NOTE: If the string is still a bit loose, tug down on it a bit by pulling downward with the left stick.
4) Note: This string is what holds the diabolo to the verticle stick. Hold the verticle right stick and diabolo high on your left side and slowly rotate your feet and body turning to the left gradually. The stick will actually turn under the axle as long as, you hold it vertically.
5) Continually turn your body under the lollypop, so you face away from the audience and then eventually face right of your original position. Note: The string holding the diabolo down is wraped over the top of the axle and then goes down the right side of the verticale Right handstick.
6) Now slowly angle the verticle stick and diabolo leftward. Angel from your Right wrist. Continue to point the lollypop lefward and now downward as you angle the right handstick from your wrist. The diabolo and stick will point leftward and then eventually all the way downward until it is Upside Down. Note the tight string on the opposite side of the stick is what holds the diabolo in place. If you go rightward from upside down the stick will detatch from the diabolo's axle.
7) From Upside Down you can move it up and down as long as you only angle it on the left side.
