Paddle Ball
Paddle ball...who didn't have one of these as a child? A small rubber ball attached by an elastic affixed to a wooden paddle. The object is to keep the ball bouncing off the paddle.
I haven't used one of these in years but can imagine a number of tricks such as behind the back, under the leg, and perhaps a trick or two taken from yo-yo like around the world.
Unfortunately, I could not find one site devoted to this illustrious prop. If you know of one, or if you yourself are a paddle ball master, please let me know and I will include it in the directory!

Video
You Tube comes through again. Of all the videos I watched, this one is the best. Every year at the Berea fest, Paddle Ball Bill joins Seven Nations onstage. Nothing fancy, but Bill does manage to paddle all the way through the song without spilling his beer. That's a pretty good trick if you ask me.
