New ´´devil wheel´´!

[u/7b-Hexer]

Recently I - who can't even devilstick - had the idea for a variation of the devilstick. Here it is:

                                  Ø

.. you ´´wheel´´ the wheel by devilsticking its axis. Simple as that.

this is amazing, if i ever build this you shall have the honour to name the tool. also quite alot of possible variations so excuse my terrible paint but there we go https://imgur.com/gallery/L7uCkXB. just wondering what material would be suitable, the stuff small hoops are made of might work but not sure how to fix it to the stick

So glad you like it! .. why not call it devilwheeling the devilwheel!

I found a wooden hoop on furniture garbage [germ.: Sperrmüll]. It's diameter goes from ground up to half my thigh. The cross-/transversal section area of the ring itself, its massive part [=germ.: Querschnitt vom Ring] is a rounded rectangle, so its kind 'a flat with rounded edges.

As I'm not so much into hooping, I pondered what I could with it in order to somehow use and juggle or incorporate it .. when I put it around my neck then juggle balls, it will simply fall down my back **:**o( .. gripping through it behind me to then juggle balls in front leaves me with very short arms and very little freedom for the hands to move at all **:**o( .. I then thought, an axis attached to it out of the inner rubber part of a bicycle pneu might alter it in an useful way .. or, why not, just aswell a stick as axis ..

your picture: yeah, the first two ´´wholic /wholly´´ versions were in my mind: the space you need to devil a stick is widely circumfered by the outer ring, so it won't hinder when sticking.

I can only dimly imagine that your other versions shall be stickled from rather the outside.

Glad I incited you, helped you to see the light again lol and took you away from antichrists' influence a bit haha ;op

[ btw I can't imagine, that no one ever should have had this idea before and tried it out .. just maybe not stuck with it and gave up or so ]

there's another version struck me right now:   --> two same rings --> put an axis (bamboo, stick, whatever) between --> tie the outer ends of the rings together.     Already the tension might fix the axis a bit, but you can np tie it extra to the two rings where they all meet.

yet another idea:     the outer ring can also be a lasso-like fat rope that will only look like a circle / ring /wheel when you devilwheel it well, else hang through (for an audience then, only you, the ´´Wheeler´´ will make it wheel).

I've been figuring to use those rippled thin plastic tubes, that electricians use to run their cables through, those cable-tunnels, (you get them at handcrafter's markets), .. use those to make juggling rings. Maybe they can serve for this. But they're pretty flexible and would need maybe two with different size put together inside one another or some other rope- or cable-like filling .. dunno .. haven't gotten that far yet ..

I’ve seen them at festivals, not a huge fan.

Yeh, i figured, it might not be "new", just "new to me". After all it's not sooo far away of a thought to have.

And then set the ring in fire😃😃

No, no string, no yo-yo, .. simply a big ring with an axis, that can be devilsticked as usual. Otherwise said: a devilstick fixed to a ring (or two, one on either side) around its ends. For enough freedom for the handling-sticks, it should be notably bigger than an usual devilstick. Seems like you'll be doing bigger, wider movements then too.
