Besides, there's plenty of tricks with cups (located on the sides and on the bottom of the Ken), juggling, spinning, swinging, swirling, tapping, balancing... The amount of combinations of tricks that can be done with kendama is overwhelming. Nowadays kendama is a part of street subculture, this skill toy helps develop brilliant hand-eye coordination, world championships are being held annually among pro kendama players. Watch a video, where Cooper Eddy and Matt 'Sweets' Jorgenson go through some kendama tricks - from easier to more difficult - on stage during Cardistry-Con 2017.
