The Diabolo Book

Rating:
Summary: Excellent historical and practical information
Review: If you are new to the diabolo and are looking for some help on what to do, then Todd's book is an excellent choice. This book has very clear explanations of the basics, yet still includes enough advanced ideas to keep you busy for quite some time. It also is the only instructional book I have found with a fairly comprehensive history of the art, including pictures ranging from the Diabolo Craze of the early 1900s to shots of modern performers. If you're interested in learning more about the diabolo than just tricks, this book is definitely worth picking up.

If you're looking for more advanced diabolo tricks than Todd's book has, then you should check out Donald Grant's series of books (published by Circustuff, and unfortunately not available on amazon.com -- check any juggling prop vendor, they carry them.)

Summary: This is a very useful book for all diabolo fans
Review: This book allowed me to master many new tricks, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire thing. If you want to increase your hand eye coordination, I suggest a diabolo. It lowered my golf handicap by 5 strokes.
