You have to juggle four of them at the same time.

BTW, that was filmed at the European Juggling Convention 2008 in
Karlsruhe, Germany. I'm planning to learn more contact juggling (this
thing, it is surprisingly difficult:

and then go to the EJC 2011, which will be in Germany again (Munich),
http://ejc2011.org/
maybe just as a visitor, but I'm sure one can learn a lot there. So
maybe we can make an inofficial povray jugglers meeting there :)

Wow. Never seen it done that well before. And the ball is a natural hook for a
povray user ;)

I have seen that type of stuff done before, I would swear there was a
gyroscope in the sphere to do some of those tricks.
Now you have added another thing to my 'must learn list'. Looks like
that would blend very well with fan form taiji.

How do you avoid tying the string in knots? It looks like some of those
moves would put loops around the axel; I guess that is part of learning
the tricks.

One of the tricks is indeed to put a loop around the axle. This allows
the string to impart greater speed to the diabolo. The trick is to then
unwrap it again. (I always seem to end up unwrapping in the wrong
direction...)
But yeah, sure, designing new tricks is more difficult than you'd
imagine, partly for this reason. ;-)
