Tricks with 1 diabolo
Snapping the violin string is a variation of the Fritz release (#46) done around the arm. Having mastered the Fritz release will help you learn this trick faster, but it is not necessary. As always the tutorial is described for righties so if you are left handed switch right and left in the step by […]

The coffee grinder is not too complicated once you get the hang of it, but you may struggle with tangled string at first. 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. Get the

The genocide is a stick release trick where the diabolo also leaves the string (unlike the suicide where you release the stick but the diabolo stays on the string). Like the majority of stick release tricks, it’s easier to learn with a shorter string. You will also need plenty of space around you to perform

The leg 180 is a throw 180 done with one leg over the string (like in the leg orbit). As in the throw 180, this trick adds speed to your diabolo when you are facing forward and slows your diabolo down when you’re facing backward, so starting with a decent amount of speed will help

An orbit, as the name suggests, is a trick where the diabolo has a regular, repeating path around something (arm, leg, …). In this trick, the diabolo orbits around your leg and you perform the orbit with both sticks in one hand. The one handed leg orbit, like any orbits done clockwise for righties (or

An orbit, as the name suggests, is a trick where the diabolo has a regular, repeating path around something (arm, leg, …). In this trick, the diabolo orbits around both your arms. The 2 arms orbit, like any orbits done clockwise for righties (or anti-clockwise for lefties), gives spin to your diabolo. It’s a body

The rewrap mini-genocide is a great trick to include in a mini-genocide combo. Like any mini-genocide, this trick accelerates your diabolo when your pull the string up with your right hand, so you can theoretically do this trick forever. As always the tutorial is described for righties so if you are left handed switch right

The umbrella is a succession of suns alternating between clockwise and anticlockwise where you stop the sun before the diabolo comes back down. This trick slows down your diabolo, so make sure to have plenty of speed before starting the umbrella. You can start the umbrella from either a clockwise or anticlockwise sun, but to

The bicycle is a variation of the throw and catch, similar to the orbit because the diabolo goes from the right of the string to left then gets thrown and caught close to the right stick. The bicycle also accelerates your diabolo. The big difference with the orbit is the diabolo isn’t moving on the

The alarm clock is a nice variation of the loop knot starting with a variation of the trapeze. This trick can be done on the left and on the right, but you will be using the alarm clock on the right more often if you are right-handed. It will also help you with integrals later,
