Juggling & Levitation Kit – Neo and Levistick

The Juggling & Levitation Kit – Neo and Levistick includes a Neo flower stick with its two control handsticks and a levistick with its string already fitted. Everything is ready to use. The colour of each item is chosen independently.

Juggling & Levitation Kit – Neo and Levistick:

Discover two ways of setting a stick in motion with this juggling and levitation kit. The Neo devil stick is manipulated with two handsticks, while the levistick creates an illusion of floating thanks to its discreet string. A pairing for exploring coordination, fluidity of movement and body expression.

The kit brings together two accessories that are used separately: the Neo for devil stick figures and the levistick for levitation effects. It lets you alternate between learning exercises or practise as a pair, each with one accessory.

The Neo devil stick: a silicone grip:

The Neo flower stick has a silicone coating, as do its two control handsticks. This grippy surface makes catches and guiding the stick easier, whether you are learning the first movements or working on more precise figures.

Its suede-finish synthetic leather tassels help its balance and slow down its rotation. Its fluorescent colours react to UV light: they do not produce light on their own.

The levistick: creating an illusion of levitation:

The Juggle Dream levistick is a stick suspended from a translucent string. By guiding this string and accompanying the movement with your body, you give the impression that the stick is floating in the air. Dance and movement then help to enrich this visual effect.

Its shiny coating draws the eye to the stick. Two small swivels limit the string's twisting during movements, while the silicone tips protect the ends and add comfort during handling.

NetJuggler's review of the Juggling & Levitation Kit:

This duo lets you discover two complementary handling sensations. The Neo offers good grip and a rotation slowed down by its tassels, which is valuable for finding your bearings. The levistick lets you quickly achieve a first floating effect, then work on fluidity and presentation.

The main difference concerns maintenance: the Neo is suited to regular practice and workshops, whereas the levistick's string requires monitoring and frequent replacement. The swivels limit its tangling, but do not protect it from wear where it passes through the stick.

What type of practice is it for?

Beginners: for discovering flower stick manipulation and the first levitation effects.
Intermediate jugglers: for varying exercises and developing precision of movement.
Dance and body expression: for combining body movement with the movements of the levistick.
Workshops and circus schools: for offering two distinct activities, with suitable supervision and regular checking of the levistick string.

Levistick string care and replacement:

On this model, the string is not protected where it passes through the stick. Friction causes wear that requires regular replacement. Check its condition before each session and change it as soon as it shows any damage.

For replacement, a spool of fishing line can be a practical supply. A thin synthetic string can also be considered, but it will generally be more visible. The choice of string therefore affects both its discreteness and its lifespan.

The Neo put to the test in workshops:

Robin, who has used NetJuggler equipment for his circus classes in Belgium since 2012, sent us this photo of his Neo flower sticks after three years of use. This feedback illustrates how they hold up in his practice context; wear depends on frequency of use, surfaces and maintenance.

About the Juggle Dream brand:

The Neo and the levistick belong to the Juggle Dream range. For the Neo, designer Nathan chose synthetic leather tassels, in line with his wish not to use animal leather in the items he designs.

Flower sticks presented on video:

This NetJuggler video presents several flower stick models, including the Neo. It helps you better understand their differences and discover this family of equipment.

Optional complementary products:

To vary the sensations, discover our selection of flower sticks and our other levistick models. To maintain the levistick in this kit, also plan for a supply of suitable replacement string, to be purchased separately.

Usage precautions: practise in an open space, away from people and fragile objects. For children, provide adult supervision and make sure the levistick string does not wrap around the neck or fingers. These accessories are not designed to be set on fire.

How to get started with both accessories?

With the Neo, start with simple movements close to the ground to discover the grip of the handsticks and the balance of the stick. With the levistick, first take the time to understand the string tension and stabilise the stick, then gradually add movements.

The discreteness of the string depends on the lighting, the background and the viewing angle of the audience. Try several positions to find the conditions that best show off the illusion.
