Devil Sticks are an ancient form of juggling with origins in some of the world's oldest cultures of Asia, West Africa, and Central American Indian. In looking to these cultures, one finds sticks - play akin to the devil sticks play of today. First introduced into the states in approximately 1970, for years juggling sticks remained essentially confined to the juggler's repertoire. Yet, with the increased awareness and enthusiasm surrounding juggling and other alternative sports in recent years, hordes of people have been turned onto devil sticks and the many joys and benefits (both mental & physical) of partaking in this unique activity.
