Devil Sticks is a form of gyroscopic juggling or equilibristics in which a central baton is manipulated, struck and balanced using two separate handheld control sticks, one held in each hand, keeping the baton spinning and airborne through its own gyroscopic motion rather than by being thrown and caught in the ordinary juggling sense. The prop is also known by several other names, including flower sticks, gravity sticks and juggling sticks, and this three-stick manipulation is a distinct skill toy from the live Diabolo entity already on this atlas, which spins a single top on a string strung between two hand sticks rather than manipulating a free baton with two independent control sticks.
