Title: 3 Stick tossing game from mid 90's
Post by: EdenEye on Tuesday 11 May 2010, 07:25 am

Hi, I just remembered something today and I can picture it in my mind but having a hard time remembering the name. I have no clue actually. And I am also having a hard time explaining what it is. But here we go.

It was a set of 3 sticks. One large fancy one and two smaller identical ones. The purpose of the game was to use the 2 identical sticks to bounce the large stick back and forth in the air. You could do cool tricks but it required a lot of practice. But was also super fun!

This was definetly mid 90's

Any ideas?

Here's a video of what you're talking about. I imagine they might *still* make them. I think I saw some on eBay by Trix Stix by I don't know if that is the old brand from the 90s.

I saw mention somewhere of Devil Stix and Flower Stix? It's basically a type of juggling.

Hey, I THINK I remember what you're talking about, but I have no idea.  :(  The only clue I can give, is that a toy that might have come around the same time was from a Discovery Zone/Discovery Kids store or something.  They were kinda the same genre.  My brother had a metal ring, about a foot in diameter, with about 5 colored rings on it.  You hit the rings in one direction and turn the big ring toward you.  If that makes any sense.. xD

If you're interested, I'll take a piccy.

They may have increased in popularity in the 90s, but they aren't a new thing. :-P

Hi Zuse, that was fast. :) Definetly the same type of toy! And they definetly sell those for adults still. But anyone seen any info/packaging/pictures of the 90's one marketed for children? I think that would bring back a lot of memories.

Hey Em, I don't remember the brand name being Discovery Kids but I'd still love to see a pic. But only if it's not too much trouble. Thanks!

Anyone have any idea/pictures of the child version of this toy from the 90's?

ha! I remember this. someone bet me I couldn't fit through it when I was really little -got it over my waist (barely) and slipped my shoulder out getting it the rest of the way. The idiotic things we do as kids.  :P

Those are definetly the basic idea. Still looking for a name and possible picture of packaging of the ones for kids in the mid 90's. :)

I saw a mention in a 1991 Disney Adventures magazine of Haikichi Sticks:
