Posted: I was seeing if any one on this board can throw the devil sticks around-especially with fire. I'm pretty good and would like to swap some tricks with some fellow juggelers. If anyone is from the chicago land area my e-mail is murr80@hotmail.com ------------------

Posted: I'd like to, but I'm incredibly cheap, and don't feel like purchasing something, I may not be able to do. Is there any way to make a set of practice devil sticks?-PSM

Posted: Hey there, I'm a devilsticker. I've been sticking now for about 10yrs and on fire or fire deviling for around 8 yrs. In answer to Smitty ds are really difficult to get started but I can give a good recipe. Start with a flower stick not a devil stick(a straight not tapered stick with weights on the ends to slow its velocity). Now make sure you really, really want to devil stick and don't put the sticks down for about 3 days. You should now be ready to try a tapered devilstick. The best way to get a cheap beginner stick or flowerstick is to make 1. Take a peice of dow about 5/8" in diamater and 1mtr in length. Now take an inner tube from a bycicle (preferably pre punctured), split the inner tube so it can be laid out flat, Then wrap your stick using electrical or gaffa tape for the ends. Now you need to weight the ends. For this i'm still experimenting. Some of the different things ive used are - just wrapping more rubber at both ends so they're evenly weighted,-two tennis balls punctured with the stick inserted into both balls then wrapping the ball in various different materials(fluro fur looks good)-wrapping the ends in leather looks good and is durable. For your handsticks i just get dow that is half the thickness of the main stick and wrap that in inner tube rubber also. I've also seen Yoho of the yoho diabolo registered trademark fame have recently released poi and spinstix which if you aren't feeling creative in the crafty sense you spend your money on worse things. They even come with a pretty impressive and concise instructional cd rom.
