Wassup friends!

I'm back again this afternoon with another quick and radical trick on kendama! If you aren't familiar, kendama is a traditional Japanese skill toy. It is a "ball-in-cup" game with the added bonus of a hole on the ball, and a spike to land it on!

I did a variation of yesterday's trick, the infinite gunslinger. The secret to this trick is creating a loop around the handle, which allows you to spin the "ken" (the part with cups) around your finger and the weight of the "tama" (ball) keeps it stable. After that, I let go and catch the tama, landing the ken in "Lighthouse" position. This is where it is balancing on the ball with the bottom cup. One flip, and I trade between the tama and ken, to land the final spike.

There were a few road runners that showed up to watch me play as I was filming! Have you ever seen these kind of birds before? They are pretty common out here in the desert but this was the first one I saw since I have been back in town.

Check out Krom Kendama, Sweets Kendamas, or Kendama USA to get your own kendama today! You won't regret it!
