Doing a curl the devilstick
is spinning one turn above your arm and one turn under your arm to come back
to its initial position. Curls are well known from other juggling props.
Shown in the animation the curl starts with a flat ccw helicopter spin. Then
the devilstick is moving underneath the right arm. You have to bent your
wrist that the handstick is pointing upwards, otherwise the devil will drop
at this position. As soon as the devil moved across your arm lift your
elbow. The devilstick is screwing upwards and continuous to turn above your
arm. This part is similar to the heli above wrist
but with sinking downwards your arm.
Tip: Try this movement at first without devilstick, e.g. with a shoe or
something else. Or hold the devilstick with your thumb to get into the
motion. |
