Chinese Acerobatic sticks.

Does anyone know about those Chinese battons you can buy at the China pivillion and swing around and catch. I picked up one and I got addicted for like an hour, and someone knocked me hat off, and people say I was really good, so they were throughing nickles in my hat! Does anyknow know if they are worth it for 20 bucks? Thank you in advanced.

They are called "Devil Sticks". You should be able to purchase them at toy stores or juggling specialists without the steep Disney Tax:

My kids got 2 sets of them last year after talking to another kid on the line at Test Track. He was really good and showed them how to use them. They are fun, but not an inside toy. :lookaroun

I have a set of them, they were really popular about 10 years ago....I used to spend hours outside with them, and my sister and I used to make up "routines" with them and set them to music. I think we got ours at our Toys R Us. Check Ebay....I'm sure you can find them on there cheap.

I'd say get a set....they really are fun, and quite addictive!
