Abstract: A plastic stick based toy formed of injection molded plastic, and consisting of one 36 inch stick, four injection molded plastic poles which extend out from the top of the stick, evenly spaced, at 90 degree angles, and four linked chains which extend downward vertically from the ends of each of the four plastic poles. A rounded bottom is attached at the base of the stick to make the stick difficult to control when it is tilted. Four rubber tips are attached to the free ends of the four poles to prevent eye injury. The sucessful contestant is able to maintain the stick in a correct vertical balance on the tip end of the middle finger. The contestant is disqualified, however, when either of the chains touches the stick, or when the stick makes contact with any other object, or when the stick loses contact at any time with the balancing finger.
