Juggling

Hello? Jugglers? Carny folk in general? Anybody?

I do three ball, staff and fire staff and am surrounded by Poi and contact jugglers. I know there's circus folk around barbelith (gingerpop, looking at you) so roll up! Roll up! Discuss the frustrations of four ball here!

Well, that's certainly accurate in some cases. I'm not entirely sure they're worth the farthing to view, however...

...on the juggling side, I haven't done any for some time, but probably should. I can still juggle three or four balls, and do plenty of tricks with the three. I think I've stil got some fireballs around here somewhere, which were great fun to use, and obviously look mind-numbingly cool when juggled in the evening, but the arcane mysteries of clubs still elude me.

I’m not that good but I can juggle three balls pretty well, which isn’t particularly rare I suppose. I can do clubs as well and they’re surprisingly easy actually but they look much more impressive than balls so I highly recommend them. The way they’re weighted makes them spin neatly back into your hand every time. I used to live with a guy who had fire clubs and I tried them a couple of times but not enough to get comfortable with them.

I can't juggle and I wish I could. Mixmage can, and he can fire eat and all sorts of hugely amusing circus skills like that.

In three weeks the lovely boy starts circus club and he is very excited, but I asked him what he was most looking forward to learning and he said, "Spinning plates."

He just thinks that smashing a few plates will get him out of doing the washing up. Worked for me!
