• 1x pair of 3D-printed flowgeng s-staffs by Flow DNA

Features

• Each individual Flowgeng consists of 2 pieces connected via 6 strong rare earth magnets
• Can be connected in different configurations or easily collapsed for convenient transport
• Magnet in the middle of the handle allows for interesting configurations & shapes as well as convenient folding & unfolding action during performance
• Every curve and balance point has been refined for smooth rotations, precise control, and a comfortable, ergonomic grip that encourages effortless sliding and manipulation
• Lattice cut-out design creates trails of concentric circles as you spin for mesmerizing optical illusions, and they are perfect for hooks, catches & other experimental techniques as well as beautiful aesthetic illusions
• Short enough to perform inside the arms, the curve glides smoothly on a single path
• Lightweight for easy finger twirling
• Designed to be suitable for 4-geng manipulations (2 in each hand)
• Made in South Africa by Flow DNA from super durable SBS plastic

Flowgeng Design

Inspired by the shapes of buugeng and other S-staffs, Flowgeng are the result of many years of experimentation with the intention to improve on previous S-staff designs and provide an ideal flow tool. Short enough to perform inside the arms, the curve glides smoothly on a single path.

Buugeng & S-staffs are performance props designed to play on the human eye's persistence of vision, creating the optical illusion of motion blur via rapid movement despite slow manipulation. Flowgeng's overlapping curves and unique cut-out patterns will mesmerize your audience with beautiful visual patterns, as well as the additional optical illusion of stripes along a path of motion!

Flowgeng are made in South Africa by Flow DNA from 3D-printed SBS plastic and feature rounded, smoothed edges that slide comfortably in your hand. Rare earth magnets are flat for smooth slide action and solidly connect each Flowgeng half. A center magnet connection allows for convenient folding & unfolding action during performance.

Durability

While SBS plastic is stronger than HDPE and wood and will not break unless you try really hard, we do not recommend juggling on harsh surfaces like bricks and concrete, as repeated drops will cause marks on the edges of your flowgeng.

Storage recommendations

SBS can start softening and warping when they’re subjected to temperatures over 70°C (158°F) for extended periods. It also dissolves in D-Limonene and other aromatic solvents, so try to avoid peeling your oranges on top of them.
