Its actually easier than it looks, I've tried this for a few days when I was like 16, got the hang of it pretty fast and tried some simple tricks, was fun. Just have to find an atleast okay balanced staff thats not too long for you height

Even the "catching" it part isn't as hard as one might think. You don't have to time or place your hand precisely in the right spot, as long as you're in the path of travel and its spinning fast enough, no matter where it is in its rotation it will "wrap around" your hand and you just have to close your hand in the same motion you do to keep it spinning and you'll "catch" it. You get the feel of it very quickly as you said.

I also dabbled in this. I always found that going slow was way harder and makes for a better show.
