Learn the basics of contact staff with First Contact: Beginner's Contact Staff.

This book is aimed at absolute beginners but will also be useful for more experienced contact staff spinners to gain a deeper understanding of these basic moves.

The tutorials break down each move into simple step-by-step instructions which are accompanied by clear illustrations. The book contains nine contact staff tutorials and over 100 illustrations.

Starting with the very basics, such as Hand Wraps, the tricks covered in this book get steadily harder and more complex. Among others, they include the Neck Wraps, Foot Stalls, the Conveyor Belt, the Halo and the Steve.

There is also information on learning practices, the correct length and weight of a contact staff, fire safety and more.

The book is wire bound to allow it to lie flat in front of you while you practise the tricks. The print is large enough for it to be read at a distance.
