Where to buy a diabolo?

Does anyone know of a place I could buy a diabolo?

Im heading into town tomorrow and really want to pick one up because I probably wont be in for another while afterwards.

I'm thinking a toyshop, or an art/hobby shop type of place.

Whats a Diabolo? other than a Lamborghini of course...

I got mine in a shop called Visuals on Liffey street ages ago. I don't even know if it's still open. Other than that, I suppose one of the Arts and Hobby shops might have them. Good hunting, OP.

if you happen to find one please post up where and how much... thinking of getting my brother one...

I got one today in the arts and crafts shop upstairs in the jervis centre, 25 euro i think and worth every penny.

Its sooo addictive!

Thanks again everyone

theres a juggling shop in crowe street bazaar in templebar (if standing with your back to the music center/button factory, go through the head shop on your left and you find a few shops, the juggling store is on the left.) i know for a fact Richard has them in stock and they are of higher quality than the ones you will get in Arts and hobby shop etc, i have 2 myself :pac:

any more questions just ask

adamski8 · 14-12-2009 4:26pm

i saw them in both "becool" gadget shops in dundrum and swords at the weekend

Splinter · 14-12-2009 4:47pm

yup. same ones they stock in art and hobby shop, if you're in town though, do yourself and the person recieving the present a favour and buy one of the higher quality ones. It spins better, has a longer life and they will enjoy it more

Where can I get a Diabolo in Cork? I would really like to get my little cousin one for his birthday.

Thanks!

There's a few adult shops around town that sell that sort of thing.

Hiya,

the only juggling shop i know of down that direction would be in Clonakilty but if you fancy shopping online there is a few sites for good deals, www.firetoys.co.uk , they stock normal and fire diabolos
