devil sticks

Devil sticks consist of 3 batons (even though they are reffered to as a pair of sticks) which are used in juggling/equilibristic acts.Two of the sticks are used as controls and the third is juggled around between those.You can also add fire to these for an element of danger. Also, if the ends of the center stick are not tapered they are also called flower sticks, as the tassels will twirl outwards when spun and resemble an open flower.
