i've not always had the most charitable thoughts towards jugglers, but i've got to admit this guy has elevated the game. http://www.glumbert.com/media/juggle

(whoa! wrong forum! should be in the cafe. sorry about that.)

meh...might be more impressive if the balls were on fire or something....kinda boring.

I mean think about the TIME he put into doing that. Couldn't he have done something like...oh I dunno...open a juggling school? :X

well now, that's my usual thought (except i would prefer the juggler on fire rather than the balls).

I have always admired the talent of jugglers. I guess it's because I never had very good hand eye coordination and when I tried to learn it always seemed to fail. :)

I love it....but then again I'm a freak myself, so my views count about 0.25x's as much as anyone else! :lolflag:

I guess is that the same as my admiration of motorcycle riders and motorcycles since I have the balance and agility of an elephant standing on a huge beach ball?

Saw this guy live as an opening act to something else (don't remember now). I see he's gotten better.

Hey Fuscia, does she have a sister? ;)


So anyway, wow. The dude was in beat the whole time. And it's apparent that the camera operators weren't musically inclined, or weren't familiar with the music because at the end, it was apparent the juggler would be doing some stuff the camera was unprepared for.

Juggling is amazing. I'd beat myself to death with a ball just trying to throw it up in the air and catch it as fast as he does it with three of them.

she has fifteen older brothers and no sisters.

i was nearly killed in a juggling accident, a few years ago. i am a voice teacher and one of my students was roller skating around my studio juggling golf balls, while we sang. i somehow screwed up the words which made her laugh and lose her balance. i quickly caught her, but the golf balls she had thrown in the air when she fell, came crashing down upon us.

Just be happy it wasn't chainsaws. Speaking of that why were there no chainsaws in the guy's act?

I looked at the video, and I have to say that it's not very impressive (for someone who knows the tricks). Really, the most difficult thing he does is juggling three balls in one hand. I'm not able to do all these tricks, and I'm certainly far from being as polished as he is, but I can tell these are standard figures. Anyway, I don't have audio here, so my opionin may change when I see it at home. In any case, it is a really nice video I can use to borrow some ideas. Thank you.

PS Have a look here (http://www.galchenko.com/) or here (http://www.michaelmoschen.com/press.html) for something really hard.

nonno, the audio is pretty much the point. when i first looked at it, i had the sound off and was wondering why tf my father sent the link to me.

Ok, I watched it at home and now it makes much more sense. Very nice video and very nice choice of the soundtrack.

someone in my class did her "senior project" on juggling today.

i don't like physics. or when people try to use the circus to trick you into learning.

There are plenty of those videos - they're from the "Just for Laughs - Juste pour rire" comedy festival from Montreal. You should watch the one featuring Ursula Martinez.
