Background in skilltoys/ manipulation:
First picked up begleri at highschool in 2007, though I didn't know they were called that at the time. Played with them for a few weeks until the string broke then moved on to some other fidget toy.
Juggled from 2011 to 2013.
Juggled flower sticks and span poi and meteor hammer from 2012 to 2014.
Rediscovered begleri in 2011 and have been flipping e'ery day since.
Daily carry begleri:
Wukongs in pink and black, on black and pink tasselled silk.
Natty Titanium Titans, on turquoise tasselled silk.
Natty Titan Sports, on tasselled hollow pink paracord.
Natty Aluminium Hydras, on brown leather.
