There are different kinds of devil sticks and they are known as flower sticks, juggling sticks or gravity sticks. This is a kind of gyroscopic juggling that requires manipulation of stick or a baton. In this activity, you will not only use one stick, but you need to use another two sticks. The other two batons or sticks will be used for gyroscopic motion. This type of stick was first originated from china. It is just a very simple juggling stick. Some also call it sticking or twirling. You need to know that there are different variations of devil sticks. Some have tassels to slowdown the movement of the baton. This is very important especially if you want to learn more tricks. This stick is also known a fire stick made of aluminum core and wick that you need to soak in fuel to light. Fire is being used for special effects especially if you will perform in a huge crowd. The following are tricks that you can try with your stick.

Hand stick Switch

This trick will require you to use a strong hand, so you can flip the stick 180 degrees off the air and catch it using the same hand. You need to immediately transfer the stick from the weak to your strong hands. In other words, you need to hold devil sticks using your strong hands. As you flip the stick inwards, you can grab the stick using your weak hand or you can choose to grab both sticks and keep the trick going as long as you can.

Stop Go

Instead of doing a normal tic-toc, you need to tap devil sticks harder with the use of your weak hand. Allow the stick to from horizontal, then stop the stick using your strong hands. You need to immediately tap the stick upward using your weak hand to continue to its previous direction right before it stops. If you can do it easily, then you can try the trick using one hand and add spins before and after each stop.
Wrist watch

If you want to learn this trick, you need to hold the stick roughly using your middle. You still need to do the basic tic-toc movement right before you use your strong wrist where it should be and make use of the back of the stick, so you can trap devil sticks between the hand stick and your wrist. You need to move your wrist inward and allow the devil stick to go. The stick will flip over your wrist and you need to catch it using your weak hand.

Kick-Up Variations

This also involves tic-toc and allows devil sticks to drop horizontally when it is already knee height. When the stick is already in that height, then you need to kick it up in the middle, so it will land close to your chest and continue the tic-toc. If you happen to kick the stick off the center it will just spin more, then you can kick it from one foot to another foot. You may also drop it using a helicopter spin and it will land on your foot or your leg when it is already on its way up.
