Beginner Cradles



Cradles generally involve getting the diabolo to a point where it is balancing on multiple bits of the string to form a sort of cradle.



Go To:





Trapeze Cradle






  1. Do a right trapeze.
  2. Put your left stick through the doubled over-string and pull it out left, forming a cross in the string.
  3. Pull the sticks apart throwing the diabolo up in the air. Catch the diabolo back on the crossed string.
  4. Tilt the sticks down a bit and let the string fall off the sticks.
