A guy at work introduced me to begleri, which is basically two beads on a small segment of cord (4inches / 10cm) which you twirl in your fingers. Kind of fun. It’s a bit more discrete at work than my yoyo or kendama, so that’s a plus. I searched, and didn’t see any mention of it on these forums. Check it out. ---
