The Fire diabolo, or Chinese yo-yo, is a centuries old children’s toy, dating back at least to the 12th century,
and has gained ground in fire performance with its graceful manipulation, and unique visual appeal.
Fire performers who spin this prop can achieve high throws, and spin the fire diabolo under legs, over and around the body, and more…
all while the prop balances on a single fine string. When hiring fire dancers using the fire diabolo, outdoor venues are preferable,
as the prop can be thrown upwards of 30′ in the air.
