diabolo goes wrong
Not exactly a sideshow story, but it may amuse you all the same.
About ten years ago, I was doing a bit at my university juggling club's end of term piss-up/ show.
I was on late and had been drinking pints of McEwan's Export for about four hours solid...
So, my call came and things got underway. Despite not being able to focus very well, things were going ok. I did some juggling, a bed of nails routine and some fire eating (yes, I know, fire + booze is a very bad idea - don't do as I do kids!) and then began my finale - a fire diabolo routine.
I lit the diabolo and started. It was going ok, so I got a bit more adventurous. Having started to throw the diabolo up and pirouetting, I stupidly asked if the audience wanted me to attempt a tripple pirouette while the flaming diabolo was in the air.
Sadly, everyone encouraged me. I got the diabolo going, launched it very, very high (it was an outdoor stage). I spun, once, twice, thr...next thing I knew I was on my back on the stage and saw the flaming diabolo plummeting towards my head. It made contact. My bandana caught fire. I screamed. Everyone else laughed.
I hate fire diabolo now
