_Clare_ Still wiggling Registered: 22/10/02 Loc: Belfast	Ta da!!!!! (and other fanfare-esque noises) Owing to the fact that he is rubbish at marketing himself... This is to announce the launch of the most awesome book on Contact Juggling to hit the shelves since, well... ever For those who don't know: Drew Batchelor (aka Glass) has been a highly respected part of the UK juggling/object manipulation scene for the last 10 years... His innovative approach to poi, staff and contact juggling have inspired people and ideas for years. And now... after two years of hard work, planning, sleepless nights and expense... he has completed his first tutorial book... Multiball Contact. The book is in several sections and will teach you the basics, and advanced, techniques of contact juggling (no clicks... make it look like an illusion...). It has great, easy-to-understand, pictures; excellent descriptions and handy hints to refine your ball manipulation skills Anyone who has seen Drew contact juggle, or has taken one of his workshops at juggling conventions, will know that he is the most able CJ teacher around... So, if you want to improve your contact, if your ceilings are too low for poi, or if you just want something else to amaze your friends... get this book. You'll be supporting a local artist and learning stuff at the same time. Win Copies can be pre-ordered here: http://www.ministryofmanipulation.com/shop.php And the book will be ready for delivery on Friday Best wishes Clare x PS: And well done Drew... x _________________________ Getting to the other side

UnscrupulousChavOffersFoot Silly Chavs Registered: 17/04/02 Loc: Possibly Romania	Written by: Mech i would, do we get discounts if we pegged drew sucessfully? Thats disgusting Mech. I doubt Drew is into that sort of thing. Then again, it might be worth asking him _________________________ "I fcking love you too, but right now I need a poo" - Skully "...and there I was thinking something had died, and all along it was your fcking slippers!" - Also Skully "Jon! Put your willy away and concentrate on the road!" - Yep, you guessed it, Skully.

Glåss <!--PHP Error--> Registered: 08/11/01 Loc: Bristol	Thanks for all your supporting messages, and thanks to Clare for posting it. (She complained that I was no good at publicity as I hadn't put it on HOP, and then told me she'd done it thats what friends are for.) Written by: Mr Majestik he's not a local artist on a New Zealand based website I dunno, Half this site was coded in my house - thats pretty local. eh Dom? Wow. The pre-orders have already started arriving with people in UK and Europe - Great. we got a great review from suicas over on CJ.org: reposted here: http://ministryofmanipulation.com/blog/multiball-contact-our-first-review/ Anyway, it's finally done what next? Smiles Drew (PS if anyone has any trouble with paypal, or with the ordering system, or gets any extra charges can they please pm me. Paypal is absolutely terrible, but until Google marketplace arrives in UK it's all I've got.)
