of a spool that is whirled and tossed on a string tied to two sticks held one in each hand. A huge variety of tricks are possible using the sticks, string and various body parts. “The idea is to keep the diabolo on the string while it spins and to keep it balanced while performing tricks,” said Lubberts. Last week, at RAK, was the first time the trio had performed together and they received some good reviews from their audience as they weaved in and out
during the performance allowing each of them to be the focus of the show. The trio used glow-in-thedark props which they said added to the show. “I had a few people come up to me and ask where they could buy the diabolo and could they try it out,” said Lubberts. The guys worked at their skills throughout the summer perfecting their moves and tricks and now that they have had their first performance they are starting to think about doing other shows together. “I have thought about go-

ing out and busking so that is something we could all try one day,” said Lubberts. Wilson is content right now to just advance his skill level with the poi balls and is looking to purchase poi he can set on fire, which he said would make for a more dynamic show. “I am hoping to have the fire poi skills down pat for the Robin in the Hood festival coming this June,” said Wilson. “Regardless of what we do, the three of us are having fun.”
The spirit of Christmas was alive and well at the Winterbourne Wonderland Christmas Tea Marketplace last Saturday. Izzy Madison, Laura Hoffer and Amber Desmeenles, 10, show off some of the pastries and cookies available for sale. [ELENA MAYSTRUK / THE OBSERVER]
