Diabolo [game]
The diabolo originated in China where it is called "tjouk-pang-oul". It was introduced to English society by Lord McCartney, the ambassador to China in the late 18th century and it was an immediate success. The diabolo had another return to popularity when the French engineer Gustave Phillipe improved the design and gave the "flying cone" its present name of Diabolo.
