Yeah,I can do the three item juggling pretty well//both cascade and overhand. I learned with china teacups when I was in Africa…I am happy to report my years of working in a grocery store saved all the teacups (something drops? put your foot under it!)
all that hackysack helped too, I bet…
I have found that lacrosse balls are almost perfect for juggling - they have great density, they are predictable and fit the hand well. Plus you can bounce them against walls, floors, etc. for cool stunts.
gaudere, you can pass? …<sigh> just one more example of your superiority…
Yup, I can juggle. My uncle gave me four classic juggling balls, but one of them got torn and broken somehow, so I’m stuck with juggling three. If I want to juggle four objects, I have to borrow tennis balls from my roommate, who’s on the varsity tennis team.
Crunchy, you can still make people think you can. We sold juggling machetes at the magic shop I worked at (before it moved) that were pre-dulled. They still looked menacing, had the weight to “chop” a carrot for demonstration purposes, but were pretty harmless.
I can’t juggle. I tried learning for a while, got up to a few throws with 3 balls, didn’t have the time to keep up practice, and lost it. I want to learn this summer (there’s a magic trick I want to use it for).
I’m also a long time juggler. I started when I was 15 with the “Juggling for the complete Klutz” book. I moved onto rings, cigar boxes, clubs, and devil sticks. In college, I learned to pass clubs and then taught my college roommate how to pass as well.
I still juggle pretty well, but I’ve gotten away from it since I started studying and practicing magic. I guess I consider myself a magician who can juggle rather than a juggler who can do some magic tricks.
All this talk of passing and I just had to do a google search. I thought it was a way of getting around doing the 4 ball ball pattern of two in each hand. Alas, it means passing the object to another juggler. I guess I’m going to have to practice if I’m going to learn 4.
Here is where I found out how truly basic my skills are. Juggling.org Movies of patterns,funky patterns,basic patterns, and plenty of other juggling stuff.
Just another average juggler here. With the ten throw rule, I can probably qualify for three in one hand. I can juggle just about any three things in two hands, with an obvious weight limit. I can do the apple eating thing too. The only problem I have is if I catch the apple wrong and take a big bite out of the top or bottom of it. The worst thing I’ve ever juggled is empty beer bottles. I didn’t drop them, but when they collided in mid air, they made a hell of a mess.
As Silent Rob knows, juggling is one of my fetishes. That is, watching someone juggle is a big turn-on. Weird, I know, but just watching someone who is that talented and dextrous with their hands … ummm … yeah … woo!
Gotta go now …
BTW, I can juggle too. And having one of my lovers teach me to juggle was one of the sexiest experiences I’ve ever had. wistful sigh I’m weird, aren’t I!
I dunno about fetishes (maybe if I were juggling vibrators), but I can do the two-hands-three-objects and one-hand-two-objects. It irritates my wife to no end when I grab up lemons or whatever in the grocery store and toss 'em around for a bit.
Where are these ladies? I’ve been juggling for about 14 years, and while people have been impressed by it, it’s never gotten me any booty. I need to move to where you are. Are many ladies into the juggling thing there? Are they attractive or do they mostly look like me in drag?
I think it was more the nature of the juggling I used to do. The trick that got me the most female attention was juggling two ping-pong balls with my mouth.
It gave girls ideas that I might have other oral skills.
Mr. S and I both can juggle. He’s the one that got me started in it. We can both do two balls in one hand and a 3-ball cascade. I surpassed Mr. S, though, one fall when he was working a lot of overtime and I filled my evenings learning to do the pins. Now I can do them and he can’t. We tried passing a few times but just ended up beaning each other.
I started juggling when I was 15 with the Klutz book. I’ve never really tried more than 3 objects, but I can juggle clubs and rings. I can pass and after teaching my college roommate to juggle, I taught him to pass. I can juggle cigar boxes and do some tricks with Devil Sticks. I can even do some contact juggling, though it is only with the right hand.
I’ve kind of gotten away from juggling, though I can still consistantly juggle 3 of just about anything you give me. I’ve been studying magic now for the past 10 years. You would think there would be a good way to combine the two arts into a cool act.
I started juggling back in eighth grade, and by high school four friends of mine and I formed the troupe Three Guys Named Ed. Those of you who were in Minnesota from 1992 to 1995 may have seen us at various gigs (plus the Renaissance Festival a time or two). I dropped out when I went to college.
[sub]See, the name is funny because there we’d come out on stage and say, “I’m Joe!” “I’m Kris!” “I’m Nate!” “I’m Dan!” “I’m Fred!” “And we’re THREE GUYS NAMED ED!” Um … well, it was funnier back then.[/sub]
Then I ended up as a founding member of the juggling association at college, and happily passed flaming chickens back and forth for a few years. (See, you just dip the rubber chicken in the lighter fluid you use for the torches, set 'er ablaze, and have at it. Go really fast. I mean, really fast. Then throw them away and make your jokes.)
So, yeah, I’m a juggler. I’ve never really been into the alternate forms of juggling - cigar boxes, devil sticks, diablo, contact juggling, etc - but rather just more and more elaborate ball-and-pin patterns. Give me cigar boxes and I’ll drop them; give me five clubs and I’ll amuse myself for weeks.
