1 Diabolos siteswap theory that will help you to improve see 1 diabolo in a different way.

  • 1 Diabolo

    1 Diabolo

    Basics

    1D Orbits → Siteswap = 3F00300
    1D |423| → Siteswap = 3F004000

    Suns

    1D Slow Sun → Siteswap = 3003F00
    1D Quick Sun → Siteswap = 1T1F

    We can mix Slow and Fast suns and do “3001F” or “13F00”, that is usefull with 2 or more diabolos.

  • Complex Notation including the Sticks [Useful for 1 Diabolo Tricks]

    In this kind of notation we will mostly use multiplex throws because when we are juggling with diabolos we have to accept that the sticks are in our hands, and when we throw or catch the diabolo in the string we have to keep the stick in the hand.

    We will consider the string like a surface where we can control the time that the diabolo is there (like when we do table juggling).

    We have to realise that the sticks are attached by the string.

    In the simulation we will use balls as sticks because is easier to see it in the simulator.

    This siteswap works like balls siteswap so please read the section “Simple Two Hands Diabolo Siteswap” to understand the meaning of the numbers.

    In addition to the “Simple Two Hands Diabolo Siteswap” now we have multiplex throws

    [32]  3 is what the diabolo will do, 2 is what the stick will do.

    By the way, we will see some simple examples that will help you to understand what I’m talking about.

  • Replacing Stick Waiting Times for Throws

    To explain this we will use the following pattern [62]22222[3F2]22, and we will only look at the 22222 wait times.

    Siteswap . [62]22222[3F2]22
    Siteswap . [62]42022[3F2]22

    22222 is a pattern of 2 objects that has 5 throws, which can be replaced by other notations with the same mean, for example 42022, 31222, 23122, etc.

    2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2  = 10   ›     10/5 = 2

    4 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 2  = 10   ›     10/5 = 2

    3+ 1 + 2 + 2 + 2  = 10   ›     10/5 = 2

    Siteswap = [62]31222[3F2]22
    Siteswap = [62]23122[3F2]22

    We have to take into account if we use consecutive numbers in reverse order, such as 32 or 402, in these cases we will receive the sticks at the same time in the same hand, or if we throw a stick that is received after the diabolo has to be picked up with rope.

  • Throwing Sticks While the Diabolos is on the String

    The most important thing in this kind of tricks is that we release the stick and then “throw” the Diabolo at the same time (for example when we do a suicide).

    With this kind of notation we can write suicides, genocides, etc..

    I will write some siteswap examples here but it is very difficult to do a good representation of the string trajectories on the JugglingLab Simulator. You can see some video examples after the gif animations sto understand it better.
