[molehill]

Hey,
I was just looking arund and i found a few videos on these things and they look quite weird but interesting at the same time ;) I was on a site that was a different language so i dont know what they are called. I have seen a small cli of one that rahael poham had in his video but i thought nothig more than some home made trick thing. So can someone please explain their called and what you do with them.
Thanks:D

Hello,

Well, Wiki says that:

I guess that's what you were trying to figure out ;).

Let us know if you got one and how it's playing with it :D.

Cheers

I think they're mostly called Kendama. It's a Japanese word, and possibly a Japanese toy, but I don't know much beyond that. I've always seen them called Kendama.

Because the ball goes in the cup!? Do I win something!? A Kendama perhaps!?
