Discovering a hobby: Juggling begleri beads


Sooo. You liked the previous article about butterfly knife tricks. You got bit by the tricking bug (and maybe even by the knife itself). You now feel empty when there's nothing in your hands to play with along the day.

Unfortunately, flipping knives around is not really the most socially acceptable activity in most of places. It might not even be legal in many of them.

Worry no more (pun intended). There is a safe, discreet and accessible way to get similar sensations, that you can make right now and carry with you anywhere : Begleri beads.

Discovering a hobby: Butterfly knife (balisong) tricks

Most of you probably know of butterfly knives, also called balisong.


You've most likely seen some bad guy flipping them around in some 80's movie.

When I first laid my hands on one friend's knife many years ago, he quickly showed me the most common trick for opening it which I spent the afternoon trying to master.
Next time I saw him, I was the one showing how to do the dozen or so tricks I had learned or invented.

There is a huge online community dedicated to the love of those particular knives, and the many flashy tricks you can use to open, close, or just juggle them.

Flipping balisong is an impressive, not that hard, and only moderately dangerous hobby (well, it at least depends on you how much risk you're willing to take in learning any given trick).



In this article I will give you some leads on how to get into this very accessible hobby, that will surely impress your friends.
