My Spinning Top Show!

I got to do my spinning top show again on Tuesday, and as always, I asked the teacher to take some pictures. Instead of the usual 2 or 3, I got a whole bunch - most of them quite good, so here are a few, and you can go to my Picassa page to see more - link below! I love doing this, so if you know of any groups of kids of any age or height, check with me about doing my top show! I have a ball, the kids - I repeat - of any age, have a lot of fun too, and they learn some great stuff without any effort!Above - me trying (unsuccessfully) to stack one spinning top on top of another??Above - my special "calm the kids down" trick. Most of my tops require snapping the fingers, pulling a string hard, throwing the top, or some other energetic method of getting the top spinning. This one just glides off the end of the twisted string very gently and silently!Above - spinning a large Japanese style top in the palm of my hand!
