The collectors do the traditional things with tops: teach people how to throw them on the ground and play games. But do not do string tricks and, at least in person, they had never seen somebody performed our tricks, so they were very impressed. I ended up as usual with Figaro, swinging it around-the-world, hoping that it wouldn't fly away and go through the large windows.

But Figaro was by no means the largest top around. Using a drill they spun their three large tops. The floor had some type of polyurethane coating and the tops left nice spirals on them, as you can see. One day somebody should throw that baldufa by hand, keep the whip top spinning with a whip and start the finger top with his fingers . . . probably not!
