diabolos

Diabolos are a type of toy similar to a spinning top, consisting of an axle with two conical or rounded weights called "sides," connected by a string wrapped around the axle. When thrown downward with a flick of the hand, the diabolo spins rapidly and can be balanced on the string. Skilled performers perform tricks by manipulating the diabolo’s speed, direction, and height, often using tools like sticks and a string. It requires coordination and practice but offers dynamic entertainment and can develop motor skills. The diabolo's design and mechanics make it an engaging activity for both recreation and performance arts.
