Hello. I am a toss juggler, and I have been playing around with the juggling animator, "Jongl," lately. I found an interesting prop in the program. It is three sticks with 120 degrees between each, connected at the center. I searched hard on google, but all I found was something called "tribal devil sticks." However, these are not for toss juggling. I decided to make some of my own, and they came out like this: https://yfrog.com/42tribeamj
Does anyone know if this prop already exists? Or does anyone know of a good way to connect 3 pvc pipes in that formation? I sandwiched them between two pieces of wood and screwed it all together.

Heeeey there! I was just talking to a friend about these the other day.
I'm not sure where he got them (or if he just made them) but juggler Francis Julien of the Quebec National Circus school has a set of those.
If you want I can try to contact him and ask where he got them?

Thank you. I just saw some pictures of him. I would be interested in knowing where he got those. Also, that facebook link is private, so I cannot see it.

Ah, unfortunately he said he had made them himself, and didn't know if you could buy them someplace.
The ones in your picture look pretty good though.

Do you know what he used to make them? I see they have a large hole in the center and they have knobs.

Not sure, there's a chance I'll run into him in a couple of weeks, if I do, I'll see what kind of details I can get on them.

If it is only PVC, you may be able to melt them into place?
(I forget if PVC melts, but it may be an option....)

If you want something comfortable to juggle, I'm not sure PVC is the best option. Though if you are doing other things, maybe?
There are some instructions you could probably modify to build something out of recycled products:

I tried melting them, but I wasn't able to get it to melt enough to stick the pieces together.
I looked at the jumbly mambas, and they are pretty much the exact same shape as the things that I am trying to make.
It looks like Steven Ragatz used a wooden dowel, plastic bottle wrapping, and tape to make the handle? The pvc handles aren't too uncomfortable for now, but these are definitely good ideas.

Hi, Sam England here, I might be able to help you. I invented the tri stick or tri star 17 years ago. I have in the past only made it for a few performers , it's my best keeped secret .this is 3 dimensional juggling toy , similar to the one in your photo but constructed from carbon fiber and air force grade alloy .I am bringing out a new product line soon.the tri stick is a lot of fun and unlike any other juggling toy in the world. It generates a balance once spinning that creates it's own unique moves and balance tricks, I can post some photos if you like ,I have a view designs of these, the problem in the past has been the manufacturing costs ,to make a good one that lasts, it has to be strong and shock absorbing, I have spent 300 dollars making hi performance models, Critical that each stick stays at 120 deg and weighs the same otherwise balance does not occur .
