Picture: 'You are what you Eat'



Best Juggling Balls for beginners

A few tips for learning, use soft fabric or sandbag Juggling Balls as this helps for when you drop them they will not roll away or even get a bouncy set so you can work on your catching skills if one hits the floor. The sandbag Juggling Balls also work great for advancing into more difficult multi-ball tricks.
In addition to being fun and entertaining, learning to Juggle is healthy for the mind and body. The challenge of Juggling improves eye-hand coordination, motor skills, and physical fitness for both children and adults.

Best Juggling Clubs to start with

If you are not sure if you're going to advance into club jugging and are just deciding if it is your 'thing,' then these Beginner Juggling Clubs are at a budget price ideal to try them out without investing a lot of money. They are a very robust single-piece design that is ideal for schools and kids who can on occasion be a bit rough.

Juggling Rings

If you love Juggling Balls and looking for a more visual prop then manipulating rings are for you. Each time you Juggle you spin the ring, however unlike Juggling Clubs with handles you do not have to be accurate with the amount of rotation, making them easier to catch. You can also isolate one ring to do fancy tricks, like capturing through the middle of the ring and rotating. They can even get bounced off the ground and caught on your foot!

Beginner Diabolos / Diablo

If you are starting with Diabolo, the larger sizes such as the Hurricane and Typhoon diablos are recommended and make learning much more manageable. For learning newer more advanced tricks like grinds, the Superglass handsticks are perfect. Secure, reliable handsticks with smaller ends make grinds and advanced tricks even more effortless.
Spin for hours with a bearing Diabolo, we have the hurricane, and the Quartz Diabolo's available both with triple bearing axels in them meaning once up to speed these will spin for much longer than fixed axle Diabolos.
LED lights kits to fit onto the Hurricane, Typhoon, Quartz 2 and V2 Luna Spin Diabolos. Batteries are available to keep them running, all that is needed are three LR44 batteries and a small screwdriver to replace the batteries.
We have many learning tools available, including books and access to over 150 free online lessons when you purchase from our site.
Don't worry if you get addicted to Diabolo spinning, we have many types of string available to help keep you spinning, and it's right for you. Diabolo string will wear out, and this is the nature of the product due to the number of frictions created when spinning them, have a bearing Diabolo will help reduce this friction.
It is relatively difficult to know with precision when the Diabolo got invented. Historians, however, agree that in China, where it was discovered, the game of Diabolo has been practiced for more than 4000 years. In China today, like the first ones, Diabolos are still made in bamboo, with openings on the side making it whistle while spinning. French and English missionaries brought these strange objects back to Europe, named by an unknown erudite "Diaballo" (later Diabolo). In 1906, a French inventor Gustave Pillipart presented a Diabolo made of two metal cup, with the edges protected by rubber. The modern Diabolo is defined!
Spinning a Diabolo helps with:
  • co-ordination
  • Relaxing the mind
  • concentration
  • patience
  • timing
  • tracking skills
  • fine motor skills
As well as the social and creative elements of diaboling with your friends.

Expert Contact Fire and Practice Staff Kit  
27th January, 2024

Looks amazing, solid contact staff
"This staff is amazing, looks great. The mechanism to switch from fire head to practice heads seems a little tricky but I think that s user error and I just need to learn how to use that. Another winner from Home of Poi!!"

Multi-Function LED Three Juggling Ball Set with Carry Bag  
15th July, 2020

Love these LED balls!
"These balls are amazing. They're a good weight, not too light and not too heavy, and have a nice soft feel to them. The different colour modes are all really fun to play around with; definitely worth investing in the multi-mode option because it gives you more variety. Now I just have to practice juggling in the dark without getting distracted by the lights / colours!"

Multi-Function LED Three Juggling Ball Set with Carry Bag  
30th April, 2020

Just one flaw
"So these are great. Bright colors, cool strobe effects, all that jazz. The only issue is with the twist on plastic piece. These can lose their thread and then it becomes real tricky trying to get them to screw in properly and light the ball as intended. I really wish I could buy replacement caps. Other than that, they work great, just be careful when twisting to change those colors."

They Glow!
"Great quality juggling ball set. Was a little worried about the weight (I like my balls on the light side), but they have a soft feel and I can juggle them for awhile with minimal fatigue. Love being able to mix and match colors, keeps things interesting. One of my favorites is set two balls with the same color and one with fast color change. Dropped numerous times with no issues, will occasionally turn switch off. Best deal on the internet for quality multi function led juggling balls!"
