Chinese Yo-yo 空竹

Chinese Yo-yo 空竹

Balancing it on the hand isn't as difficult as the foot, but this is one of my favorite pictures. You have to walk while it spins to really demonstrate your balance.

There are wonderful professional acrobats and jugglers who perform elaborate moves, use two or three yo-yos on the string, and keep the yo-yo spinning for a much longer time. But the men I met are more amazing, because they are like us.
