The Diabolo
Eli 13.7 has been spending quite a bit of time with a diabolo, which is a giant yoyo controlled with two sticks and a string running between the sticks.Basically, you whip the yoyo back and forth to build its rate of spin, and then you do all kinds of crazy things with it.
For a few months, Eli used a basic model with a metal, fixed axle, and the metal would get so hot after a few minutes that it could burn your skin, believe it or not.
