1) Start with the diabolo on the string as normal

2) With the diabolo setting on the floor, lay the string on the axle with the right stick, then bring the string down to the floor right of the diabolo, and the make the diabolo roll rightward over the string. This leaves the diabolo on crossed string on the floor.NOTE: Steps 1 and 2 can also be done if you leave the diabolo on the floor so that it doesn't rotate. Put the right hand stick over the left hand stick and into your left hand. Take the stick that was in your left hand and put it in your right hand. The string should be crossed.

3) Lower your left hand and raise your right hand, still leaving the diabolo on the floor, in front of you, and slightly off to your right. Now lift up the diabolo by slowly pulling straight up above the diabolo with your left handstick.

4) As the diabolo rises notice that it is begins to spin. When the diabolo is high enough, use your right stick to do one trapeze wrap around the right stick.

5) Now release the diabolo right of both the sticks in a toss.

6) Catch diabolo , it should be spinning for you and ready for your next trick.
