Cirque Du Soleil is one of the fastest growing brands on the planet and their shows have been seen by millions. The Cirque Du Soleil Juggling Balls are used by professional jugglers worldwide. They are resilient and colorful. They also are soft enough that they stop when you drop, yet round enough for uniform throws. This reduces practice times drastically. Made in Canada by jugglers.

The Cirque Du Soleil diabolo is beautifully packaged “Cirque” style and is one of the hottest selling toys on the continent.. Diabolo is like a giant yoyo that can leave the string and it leaves the string in a BIG way. Throws of 60 feet are easy with this well balanced, North American made diabolo. Handsticks, string and instructions in 4 languages are included.

Cirque Du Soleil devilsticks are awesome and the devilstick is back! Remember devilsticks flying off the shelves? Well now, those kids have their own kids and are looking for worthwhile toys. With a little practice, it’s easy to manipulate the main stick with the 2 “supergrip” rubberized handsticks. Instructions are included in French, English, Spanish and German.

The German-made diabolo measures 5” in diameter. It features a special center that makes for excellent spinning.

The 20.5”Circus Stage Club has a silver-wrapped handle that makes the club a bit heavier and can improve its responsiveness.

This professional-model plate is precision-made and has perfect balance. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, it is designed to spin longer than the plastic version.

Made from Canadian maple, this Devil Stick is easy to perform tricks with because of the slow performance speed. It's decorated with glitter foil on the middle and both ends and is very durable. It comes with black rubber handsticks.

This kit comes with beautiful, eight-panel balls and an instructional booklet entitled "A Universal Manual of Stress Relief."
