Level 1: Get it spinning

A steady spin makes every later trick easier.

Step 1

Start the roll

Roll the diabolo along the ground to start its spin, then lift gently.

Step 2

Build speed

Use small repeated pulls with your dominant hand. Keep the other hand calmer.

Step 3

Keep it level

Watch the cups and make small corrections before the tilt gets large.

Level 2: Move the diabolo

Use the spin you built to try beginner tricks.

Step 4

Small toss and catch

Open the sticks slightly for a low toss, then guide the string under the axle.

Step 5

Trapeze wrap

Swing the diabolo toward one stick so the string wraps, then reverse the movement.

Step 6

Around the world

Guide the diabolo in one large smooth circle around the sticks.
