I picked Kev's hatstand with the fatal phrase, "how hard can this be?". Turns out quite a bit. Although easy to lift it is by far the heaviest thing I've ever tried to balance & the frame is pretty thick with lots of legs sticking out so your vision is obscured. My balance was all over the place at the best of times but I just couldn't get a clean throw of the hat without affecting the balance. Rob had a go & managed it perfectly on his second attempt, with a beautifully pitched throw which looked like he knew what he was doing rather than the 'throw & hope' method that I was using. I was throwing mostly from the elbow, Rob was throwing from the shoulder with an almost straight arm which made for a much smoother throw with a slower spin. I encouraged Archie to try a duicide with his diabolo which he managed to pull off before the end of the evening.
