Devil's playthings

The basic concept behind this is you have a simple cylinder shaped stick (with weigth at both ends) and two "controller" sticks to toss and spin the main stick around. It is important to have cylinder shaped sticks, otherwise you will definitely screw up with the juggling :)

I've seen completely different designs of the same thing. Also some people make the weights out of oil-soaked textilia and light them on fire :D

Thanks for the explication!! I see what it is now.
... Which shape of stick would you advise to begin with? The ones with more weight at the end? (like the guy on the video you point below?)

And you can do stuff with it like this:

Maybe I should include some explanation in the description part :D
