Having recently seen Cirque du Soleil’s Quidam, I’ve been infected with an urge to see if I can add diabolo to my limited circus-arts repertoire. There’s no telling if it’ll come out like my ill-fated (and occasionally still ongoing) attempt at contact juggling, or my generally more successful experiments with juggling of the old-fashioned variety until I actually give it a spin.
There’s a fairly dizzying array of manufacturers and models available, as well as several books, though. Could any of you fine gentlefolk recommend a good place for a beginner to start? It’d be much appreciated.
