Begleri

Begleri (Greek: μπεγλέρι) is a small skill toy consisting of one or more beads at either end of a short string or chain.

The recent uptick in interest among collectors and skill toy enthusiasts dates back to at least the early 2010s, when it began gaining popularity on hobbyist sites.

A wide range of different styles of play and categories of tricks have developed, many of which can only be performed with relatively long-stringed begleri, termed "long game" by enthusiasts.

Axel Schönberg, a character in John M. Green's thriller novel The Trusted (2013),[5] is almost always twirling a set of gold begleri in his fingers.

In the NBC show Debris, the character Anson Ash, played by Scroobius Pip,[6] can be seen slinging begleri in several scenes of season 1, episode 5.
