The Diabolo - Half Way Around.

This move is fairly simple by it's self, but when combined into sequences becomes quite interesting.

When the diabolo swings to the Right side, push the Left stick forward to catch the RIGHT side of the string.

Start with the diabolo spinning quickly, and make sure that it is level. Swing the Diabolo firmly to the Left. If you push your Left hand stick forward, it will catch the string on the right side of the diabolo. Once the diabolo passes over the Left hand stick, catch it on the string, between the hand sticks. Unwind all this by, pulling your hands apart, and the diabolo will return to where it started from. After you can do it to the Left, learn it to the RIGHT as well. With this trick you can do it twice in a row, without unwinding it (or even three or four times). Also try doing it once to the Left , followed by once to the Right, and then unwind both ways.
