The diabolo (/diːˈæbəloʊ/ dee-AB-ə-loh; commonly misspelled diablo) is a juggling or circus prop consisting of an axle (British English: bobbin) and two cups (hourglass/egg timer shaped) or discs derived from the Chinese yo-yo. This object is spun using a string attached to two hand sticks ("batons" or "wands"). A large variety of tricks are possible with the diabolo, including tosses, and various types of interaction with the sticks, string, and various parts of the user's body. Multiple diabolos can be spun on a single string.Like the Western yo-yo (which has an independent origin), it maintains its spinning motion through a rotating effect based on conservation of angular momentum.

No, he didn't really do that, he couldn't, that's impossible.

He was not "diabolo world champion", but "juggling world champion", of that year; the IJA competitions don't separate by prop. In 1993 Fritz Grobe (of the original mentos & diet coke viral videos) similarly won with an all-diabolo act, then with groundbreaking two-diabolo tricks. Interesting to see how the state of the art has advanced.
