I like to think I am a diabolist and I go to play with my diabolo,

But sometimes I am a juggler and I go to play with my balls

Sorry to sound irrelevant (its on terminology

), but a friend of mine and me have always wondered how the name 'JiBe' is pronounced!!!
Is the capital 'B' there for a reason?! Or just to look good? Silly questions i know but answers please...

Yes the capital B is there for a reason, here goes (please, anyone correct me if i'm wrong)

His real name is Jean-Baptiste, and as i'm a lot of your know, J.B. is the classic abbreviation of Jean-Baptiste. Now...if you know the French alphabet you will know that J.B. in french is pronounced jee bay (with a very soft j [in english anyway, i kno that 'j' in a lot of other languages is closer to the english 'y' but thats off-topic, sorry)
So to make it read closer to the french pronounciation... JiBe.
Or something like that. The 'bay' might be wrong, i seem to remember hearing 'bee' more (which would also explain the gibee on his website)
so in conclusion... uhhh... hopefully JiBe will read this and clear it up.

Thanks Norbi. You've at least given me some idea...

I am a diaboloist, and I "go diabolo" as in, "I'm gonna go diabolo now". hey, why not be a verb and a noun, it's cool enough.

Im a Diaboloer and i go diaboloing but to be honest it will differ from time to time depending on how i using the terminolagy

i think it could be a verb if i wanted it to

and i consider myself a jugglar not a clown definetly not a clown

I´m diaboler (diabolero) , I called "cacharros" (pots and pans..) to th diabolos (

I think I´m the only who calls like this) , and I "ruedo mis cacharros" (roll my pots...) lol.....tha languajes makes some funny translations-efects....

yer man, not a clown, neither a hippy, neither a funny man. People suppose too much by the way you look or do. I completely agree with you

I think the main trouble is just that "diabolo" already has four syllables in it! Yo-yoer works pretty well but diaboloer sounds a bit akward. I guess diabolist works pretty well since it is still four and sounds ok (in some languages aparantly..haha).

upon deep though and consideration, it doesn't matter, as a wise man once said, "Shut up and juggle"
