I was looking at the BKA's list of 100 tricks and at the bottom it said that there were 15 main tricks and one of these sections was named "Cats Cradle" and I would like to know what they are.
Is it some sort of one handed sting trick that Donald does a lot? that is my guess.
It would be nice to know what it is
Thanks

Cat's cradle tricks are those where the ken is held up between the tama and your hand, by ways of a certain knot in the string. If you copy and paste the japanese (kanji) name and enter them in youtube (just add the word 'kendama' to it) you can get some examples.

Donald does some of these tricks, but there are different names than cat's cradle going around. In the book 'knees' there is the C-whip for example, and the last EKO had a 'trapeze to aeroplane' (granted, the trapeze is a two handed trick, I don't know if that makes a difference).
Kendama Belgium!
