Buugeng
Buugeng (from Japanese "Buu" meaning martial arts, and "Geng" meaning illusion) is a type of skill toy usually made of wood or plastic. Buugeng is a brand of S-shaped staffs created by Dai Zaobab. S-shaped staffs were a concept originally created by Michael Moschen in the 1990s. A single buugeng is an s-shape and is sometimes called an "S-staff". They are usually used in pairs to create patterns in motion by jugglers and performing artists. References {{reflist Reference in literature Melgar, M. (2017). El verano de nunca acabar.

Michael Moschen
Michael Moschen is an American juggler. Early life Moschen was a classmate of Penn Jillette's at Greenfield High School in Greenfield, Massachusetts, class of 1973. The two worked together developing juggling performances immediately after high school. Career In 1977, Moschen performed in the first season of the Big Apple Circus. Moschen is particularly known for crystal ball manipulation. In the 1986 film ''Labyrinth'', the crystal ball manipulations seen to be performed by David Bowie's character were actually done by Moschen, who stood behind Bowie during filming. Since Moschen could not see the objects he was juggling, it took many takes to film the scenes with the crystal balls. He received a fellowship from the MacArthur Foundation (the Genius Grant) in 1990.
