This is a trick that can be built up gradually. What happens is that to begin with, every ball thrown from one hand goes over the top of the other two, which are just swapped from hand to hand (in the normal cascade pattern). Once this is mastered, you can then try just throwing the same ball over t
The diabolo is by far one of the most exciting props to watch. The fact that you can throw an object high up into the sky, and then catch it on a tiny bit of string, astounds people! It is very simple to do, although it does take a lot of practice to perfect it!

Juggle a normal cascade, using two balls and one apple. Every time the apple comes to your strong hand, bring your hand to the mouth and kiss the apple. Return your hand to its usual position quickly and continue your cascade. To have enough time to eat some of the apple, you will have to temporaril
When we moved 6000 miles away from our families 22 years ago, I certainly never imagined I would be working in the business my grandfather established way back when. Way back when ... there was no internet, no low cost international telephone service, no e-mail, and no digital photography. My childr
Just like the Eating the Apple Trick, bring a ball to your mouth but this time hold with your teeth. Bring the other two balls up and hold them over your eyes. Look around the room and hear the laughter!
These are some tips to keep in mind when learning how to juggle. Different people juggle in lots of different ways, but these ideas are general enough to apply to technical and artistic jugglers alike. A lot of what I mention has to do with impressing an audience, but that doesn't mean that you can'
Like most parents, I tend to lecture my two teenage boys. It usually starts out something like, "Remember, the trouble with trouble is that it always starts out as fun." But like most people--young people in particular--they need a "For instance ..." type of story to get the point across.

By definition, a juggler is a man or woman who is skillful in throwing and catching balls, knives, and other articles, and understands or practices delicate feats of balancing. The word finds its root in the Latin word joculator, which originally meant a man who makes thejocus-the root of our Englis
Most people do not believe that they balance things in their lives. Instead, they juggle. Some people delegate various responsibilities and tasks to others because there are so many things to do and only so many hours during the day. Many people try to juggle their family, friends, leisure, work, re
Are you sitting comfortably? Well you shouldn't be! You should be standing up, feet should be shoulder length apart, arms should be bent at the elbow at a 90 degree angle from your body, and slightly out from the body. You should have two balls in your best hand (the one that you use most), and one
