Anything insane related to staff then whack it here! One thing I can think off to get it started is doing an entire routine whilst standing on a tight rope. Now that is one hell of a test of balance and would most probably require Jedi like mind skills to come anywhere near accomplishing, but if anyones willing to give it a go then by all means do so, just tell us all how ya failed miserabley  I suppose the weak minded of you could start by standing on one leg  Just dont try and do an under leg throw, under the leg your standing on!

hmmm horizontal throws with two staffs is kinda tricky... there's allways the large risk of smacking yourself in the head cause they're so much harder to catch & continue. also adding horizontal fingerspinning into any routine with your hand ABOVE the staff, not below. These hard enough???

I've always liked the idea of spinning a long double (1.4 metres or longer) on the tip of of another long double...
Can't seem to get it down solid as yet (heck, can't seem to get it AT ALL yet!)

Wick in the middle of the staff so there are three spots of flame. Then when you grip it off centre, you can isolate the middle flame  Then, the same idea, but a day-staff with a metal CJ ball in the middle  If I ever find any time I'll finish it off...

thrown in an arc from one hand to the other above yourself (i.e. juggling style) makes continuous doubles horizontal throws easier and with more flow.  the arc looks thusly:

Ive got a video somewhere of a girl juggling an 8 flowerstick (devil stick?) cascade - very cool. She goes from synched throws to asynch too....lovely.
Id like to see people juggling 3 sticks as well as the pro three club jugglers.
