Everyone must have done this at some point. My best is 4, but I only had 4 diabolos at the time. I wonder if there's a record. Anyway, how many can you do?

One of the mad french posse can balance 5 on their chin, i can balance all my diabolo's (3) on my head, all un-upgraded finesse's

I'm sure I've seen Trash do more than 5.

I can balance 4 diabolos head if it's not windy.

I agree with guppy, i am sure trash can balance nore than five diabolos on various body parts.

I'm pretty sure it was his chin.

Oh yeah. I videoed Squiggle/Jake balancing four diabolos on a bottle on his chin back stage at our circus performance today (No drops except for the three passing! YESSS!

). He got some good applause from everyone in the dressing room

Maybe we'll put it in a video sometime(Like the one we have been putting off for the last.. 3 months?

)

Ten?! How did he get them on top of each other? Did he do a tower of them on the floor first and then pick it up, or did he have someone with a stepladder to help him

my friend can keep 7 diabolos on his chin.. he puts every other different direction so it wont be very tall tower..

-Leo- · « **Reply #9 on:** December 09, 2006, 05:57:16 pm »

I think that Trash puts them on the floor before hand, Otherwise he'd have to throw them up!

Beni · « **Reply #10 on:** December 09, 2006, 08:21:44 pm »

Throwing them. Now THAT would look amazing!

If you can find the convention video from Ieper 2005, at 5:58 there's a fellow balancing 11-12 diabolos on a European club on his chin. That's a fair few I think. It's fortunate that diabolos stack nicely.

trash can do something similar, but it looks more like a diabolo leaf.

no i paused and counted, that was 5 by my count, 10 cups, 5 diabs.

papert1ger · « **Reply #14 on:** December 14, 2006, 02:15:51 am »

Well I paused and took a screenshot
Still look like 5?

I count at least 10, maybe 11. It gets pretty sketchy towards the top

William · « **Reply #15 on:** December 14, 2006, 05:06:05 am »

Ten! Haha I told you so!

Actually because of the angle you can't see them, 20 cups, 10 diabolos

Christopher · « **Reply #16 on:** December 14, 2006, 09:14:14 am »

so whos the next person to do 11 or more?

one.man.band · « **Reply #17 on:** December 14, 2006, 10:17:39 am »

Pretty sure it's 10

Matt_ · « **Reply #18 on:** December 14, 2006, 07:27:17 pm »

Looks like 10 to me.

William · « **Reply #19 on:** December 17, 2006, 12:42:35 am »

Its definatly ten, But it doesn't look like they're on his chin. Look closely, you can see what might be his arm..?
