The chinese suicide is a cool way of exiting the trapeze position. This trick can be done with a trapeze on the right or on the left. You will need roughly the same amount of speed you would need to exit the trapeze the “normal” way.
As always the tutorial is described for righties so if you are left handed switch right and left in the step by step explanation.
Prerequisites
Step By Step Explanation
1. Do a trapeze on the left (this tricks also works with a trapeze on the right, but it will be easier to learn with a left one as you will catch the stick with your right hand). Make sure your diabolo is roughly in the middle. If your diabolo is too close to the left stick, the right stick will not have enough momentum to go all the way around and if the diabolo is too far away from the left stick, the right stick will travel really fast.
2. Align your right stick with the string. If there is an angle between the stick and the string, the stick will tend to wobble when you release it, making it harder to catch.
3. Release the stick. You don’t have to throw it because the weight of the diabolo will help the stick travel round, also if you throw the stick it will be harder to catch as it will go faster.
4. Catch the stick after it went around the left stick and you will end up in the open string position.
