I missed that, for some reason. I just don't remember why. Oh well.

In the meantime, I'll play with the one beanbag ball I have left from the cheap-o set that my daughter commandeered. ;-) I'll work on that back and forth throwing.

THANKS!!! (And the baby adds "Aaaayaaaa! AAAaaaaaaaeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh!" and chainsaw-ish growly noise.)
When you are juggling devil sticks, start on the ground and work your way "up." The motion you use to control the devil sticks is similar to steering a car. Also, the closer to the top you hit the faster the devil stick will toggle, the lower (closer to the center) slows it down. You want to stay more towards the top and less toward the middle when starting out.

Mystix, the Devil Stick company used to sponsor me to sell them and play with them in front of toy stores and Deadhead stores, so any questions, feel free.
