Tricks with 1 diabolo explained step-by-step with text and videos
The arm orbit backcatch is a cool variation of the arm orbit. This trick, like the arm orbit, will add speed to your diabolo so you can do it as long as you want or include it in the middle of a combo to accelerate your diabolo. As always the tutorial is described for righties […]

This trick is pretty easy to learn, especially if you already know the leg orbit. When you’ve mastered it, like any other orbits, this trick will accelerate your diabolo. The body orbit is a body move, so it helps if your string is on the longer side. As always the tutorial is described for righties

The sun between the arms can be done clockwise or anti-clockwise. If you are right-handed, doing this trick clockwise will accelerate your diabolo, and doing it anti-clockwise will slow your diabolo down (and vice-versa if you are left-handed). This tutorial explains the clockwise version. As always the tutorial is described for righties, so if you

This trick is called infinite suicide because it’s a suicide you can in theory do forever, as it gives speed to the diabolo. It is easier to learn with a fixed axle and a slightly worn out string (so the diabolo doesn’t slide down too much). As always the tutorial is described for righties so

The chinese acceleration is the most efficient way to give speed to your diabolo. It takes some time to master, but it is well worth the effort! This trick is easier to learn with a fairly new string as it will be more slippery and allow for more inaccuracies with the wrap. As always the

The crossed stick sun is a variation of the sun where you end up in the open string position instead of the sun string position. This trick can be done on the left and on the right, but will give speed to your diabolo if done on the left (if you are right handed) and

Al’s release, also known as inverse trapeze, is a variation of the half-spaghetti, where instead of having the string go around the diabolo, the diabolo goes to the string like in an upside down trapeze. This trick can be done on the right or on the left. This tutorial describes the Al’s release on the

Scisors are tricks where you start in an orbit position (arm, leg or body) and instead of throwing the diabolo around the arm (or leg or body), you do a darkside catch to the left (for righties). This trick, like all scisors, is done on the left for righties and on the right for lefties

This trick is also known as the neck trampoline. It is scary to learn at first as the diabolo is very close to your face, but the biggest risk of injury is actually burning your neck with the string. So if this is the first time you try to learn the tie, I’d advise wearing

This trick can be learned in two ways : by absorbing the catch before throwing the diabolo again or by throwing the diabolo immediately keeping the string taut. In my opinion, learning the first method is harder but better in the long run because it will be the same « string control » you will need to learn
