Juggling

Aaaaah juggling, the king of disciplines, the cornerstone of the juggling world. There isn't a devil-sticker or a diabolo man who can't at least juggle three balls. Who would have thought that throwing and catching could be so much more. Jugglers are a varied bunch, and make up a narrow majority of people on the juggling scene. There are numbers juggling geeks, who can tell you that Anthony Gatto achieved 264 catches with 9 balls and will happily tell you that they are working on a 9,7,5,3,1, with the one passed behind the back. They are science students and have recently invented siteswop, so that they can analyse juggling mathematicaly, and write down formulas showing all juggling sequences possible. There are a few hippy jugglers and a few french artiste jugglers who often go in for bounce juggling, crazy body moves and combining contact juggling with regular juggling. Jugglers are a varied lot and can be found at meetings and conventions around the country swapping tricks and playing with toys.

Juggling Tutorial

Here is Matt's Juggling Tutorial It shows a good range of 3-ball tricks and is a good starting point for learning. I might write a tutor for 4 ball juggling and for devilsticks as well but only if I get a lot of positive feedback because quite a bit of effort went into the 3-ball tutor
