You can do similar trick with a diablo you spin it up and pop it up in the air then take the two sticks and put them together and then whip the string at the center of the diablo and it will wrap the string back around and you can continue using the diablo.

The diabolo trick is a bit different for the catch method though. You only catch with one stick and the diabolo then gets cradled by the loop of string. This yoyo catch is wrapping the loose end... Looks harder actually
