Contact Juggling

Postby bored1 » Sep 10th, '06, 20:47



i saw a while back a magic show on T.V. where they did contact juggling, and i was instantly interested. I have always loved this art form, though i do not know if it is considered magic. I want to learn how to do contact juggling, but i don't know where to get started. does anyone have any advice for me? it would be greatly appreciated!

lol. thanks. i found something on Amazon, but most of the reviews said it wasn't very good, so, i probably will not get it.

Check Butterfingers for any products you may need (they stock a book on contact juggling and it's a corker).

If you need any more help or support, then Contactjuggling.com will probably help.

I'm here, I'm here!
i've been away for the weekend learning how to do contact staff actually.
anything i would've told you has already been said, go on contactjuggling.ORG (not .com) and watch some videos, read some essays, ask around.
there is NO need to be able to do any other kind of juggling to be a contact juggler, i can just about juggle 3 balls but there isn't a lot of cross over. it does however take an awful lot of practice!

a little miss-speeling on my part can lead to a lot of confusing, contract juggling is something totally different. :: dear dear ::

anyway, check out what we've been playing about with over the weekend
