Diablo Trick A Day Until Thanksgiving

I have succeeded in my quest! I got two diabolo's on October 30th, and I have learned a trick a day until Thanksgiving! What is significant about Thanksgiving? That is when I next see my dad who taught me how to diabolo originally. Last Thanksgiving (his birthday is right around Thanksgiving each year) I gave him a newfangled Mr. Barbache Finesse G2 Diabolo. Dad (Grandpa Tom) has a bunch of old wooden Diabolos from when he was in high school and college, so I thought he would like it. He seems to like it a bit, but has had trouble translating his tricks with little diabolos to a big 5" diabolo.



So, the last 3 weeks I have learned a trick a day, and hopefully I can learn some tricks from him, and then I can show him how to do a whip or two at least to make his life easier with the Finesse.
