Over the Leg Diabolo Juggling Trick

Video Transcript

" Hi! My name is Adria. I am one of the professional jugglers here at Expert Village.com. We are learning diabolo tricks. You have already learned how to get it started, how to keep it going. We have learned that the orbit is the basis of all diabolo tricks and we have learned something very simple called over the foot. Well now we are going to learn something even more complicated. We are going to learn something called over the leg. Believe it or not this is just using your lower leg. You put your lower leg against the right string and using your left hand you push the diabolo over the leg in the low arc. The diabolo is caught by the string on the right hand side and the momentum of the diabolo and gravity pull it down and around the string so you can push it back up with your left hand again. Now I know I make this look simple, but don’t think that you are going to get it on your first try. Remember, I have been doing this for years. I have been professionally performing for years and now just as with the feet we are going to learn over the other leg. Again we take the other leg which coincidentally happens to be our left leg. We push it up against the right hand string using the left hand; we pop it over the top in a low orbit. The diabolo is caught by the string on the right hand stick and gravity and the momentum of the diabolo move it towards the left hand where you can pop it over the top in an another low orbit and those are over the leg and over the other leg."
