Product Description Mystix brand Devil Sticks are the highest quality quality and most versatile juggling sticks you can find anywhere! Perfectly weighted. Made of fiberglass which will never break. Long lasting rubber tubing provides excellent grip. Colorful tassles flower beautifully when played.
A devil stick baton is lifted/struck/stroked alternately by the two control sticks ('handsticks', or 'sidesticks'). The handsticks, and sometimes the baton as well, are often covered with a material to provide good 'grip' or friction when in contact with the devil stick, often this material consists of silicon or rubber, but homemade sets may utilize materials such as various tapes, skateboard grip, sandpaper with a sticky back, or cloth. However, some sets are made of slippery polished, bare hardwood. In one basic stick maneuver, known as the Pendulum, the Idle or Tick-tock, the center stick is lifted alternately with the left and right handsticks touching the baton at a point about halfway between the center of gravity and each end, causing the ends to swing to either side while the center of the baton remains at a somewhat constant height
The pendulum is an important move to learn, because to a great extent, every other trick is a variation on it.
