Yet another contact juggling thread.

I must own that video!!

It looks like there's gonna be some amazing footage of the best contact jugglers around on it. So much potential for 'move-yoinking'

Here's some cool contactvids:
I mean mots's not mine:

I got me a 4" stage ball today... Now I just have to learn how to use it!

*drops ball*

hehe - finally my Bday present from lovely Katinca came through - two uv acrylics! now I have 6 3inch acrylics to play with - yay!

practising palm isolations: move the ball around your open hand really slowly and as smoothly as possible. Once you can do this a bit more easily, start trying to move your hand around the ball to keep it still.

fair enough description?

Ah, one ball palm spinning.

More difficult than it looks. How were you taught it (If you don't mind giving away the secret)?

It took me a couple of months i think to learn this properly. I've tried teaching other people but it's a difficult one to get the head around.

There are essentially four basic ways of doing it; Thumb to pinky, Pinky to thumb, on the left or right hand. The one that feels most natural to me is left hand, thumb/pinky. Weird, seeing as I'm right-handed and broke a finger on my left hand a few years ago, which made my left ring finger stop growing while all the rest did... But everyone is different.

I have given Pyrowill a challenge. To perfect palmspinning a pyramid (three balls as a base with one sitting on top) on both hands before I do. Any direction, but I think the same direction would be good in both hands. I'm going thumb to pinky, obviously. I can do it no problem in my left hand, but my right hand seems incapable of spinning any number of balls as good as my left hand does.

Bearing in mind I'm going on holiday tomorrow and probably won't be doing any contact for a couple of weeks, he should be able to get it. Any one else up for the challenge? (in a friendly, non-competitive way of course)

Ahh.
We wish you a merry christmas,

Drew

anyone want some multiball transfer descriptions? Or is this more of a one ball thread? (haven't been on here much due to work)

Drew: you might want to ask mech, he's been hosting a lot of videos on PiP recently.

Gelfling: I'd like to see as many descriptions as possible, so bring it on!

Myallo Ya'll,
I was just wondering if you guys and gals over in england ever get any of the chinese circus footage from new years?
Also, Mondot, heard of him? Very cool french three ball artist (ponders if he's on this forum)
The chinese circus have been doing amazing contact stuff for years (Note, Spinning fork, Bowl kicking, Three ball juggling)
But yeah, if ya get a chance, fork spinning is like contact staff to the extreme PLUS acrobatics, check it out
Sorry if this is all old news, I'm a bit new to the forum :S
Anywho, tis all
Oh, PS, The chinese have FINALLY started juggling clubs No more hollow tennis rachets for them :P
Ciao-sies!

I've just started to get the hang of three balls in both hands, and managed to get a pyramid going in both hands with billiard balls while on holiday... so multiball ball stuff is most welcomed!!

I'm having trouble getting a nice looking palm spin shower going. The balls just seem to move at irregular timings and keep knocking into one another... Any tips? Gelfling? Drew? Anyone? The problem seems to be when the balls are rolling ovr the near side of my palm, and also the 'thumb bit' where I put the balls from fingers to palm and vice versa. Hope that makes sense...

Top tip for any palm spinning stuff - once you get a move learn it without using your thumb. This will build up your dexterity and finger strength.

We'll spend time in Falmouth

Will post multiball descriptions when I can work out how to phrase them

*Another spinner turns to contact juggling*

Still practising...

Was practising on my way home on the ferry tonight.

Unfortunately there was about 200 schoolkids also on the boat, clearly on their way home from a day trip. They kept saying things like 'you trying to see your future in that ball, miss'?!

I got all embarrassed and stopped.

Kids can be so cruel.
