Forums > Other Toys > Yet another contact juggling thread.

I was doing some contact the other day when this old lady asked me how the ball sticks to my hand.

I love it when that happens

Fair luna bright, fair luna moon
it shines at night but fades too soon
fair luna moon, fair luna bright
forever we dance
we dance under starlight

Curry a la Gelfling? I hope that doesn't have real Gelfling in it!
managed to get past lesson one already.
please don't tell me lesson two is 'don't get it at all scuffed'
managed to get a butterfly going now, but still my electro magnetic resonators seem to be not quite functioning and it keeps falling off my skin
maybe i should buy new batteries

Thanks for the tips! I'd just started on the back to back transfers and was wondering about that. My right hand is starting to 'flow' a bit but the left is still a bit clunky... isn't that always the way! I'm actually working on arm/chest/arm rolls and palm/cradle/arm roll to elbow/catch in cradle then either another arm roll to another cradle catch or butterfly.

Also been trying to isolate between the wrists: surprisingly hard to do (for me at least) but looks quite nice when it works (in a kind of dancy way)

Thought it might look quite cool if you could keep glowsticks or something lighty in your hands in the dark with an acrylic/crystal ball. I saw glow in the dark gloves somewhere...

You two have confused me with all these descriptions -

LTC - next time we meet you'll have to tell me the names of each of the tricks and then I may be able to understand the above.

Lazy - are you going to Clapham? If so break your poi by then please

Gelfling: I'll try to get down to Clapham. Problem is I'm drowning in a sea of work at the moment so not sure if I'll be free, but if I can, I'll be there, with monkeyfists, camera and acrylic! And chocolate! *thinks: should probably do more work instead of posting on HoP *

by the way
these are the glowing gloves I was talking about

my acrylic cost twice what those gloves are. Where do you get yours from?

Oops - mis-read the site - thought they were charging �26 for the gloves - sorry

you can understand that, it's just a breakdown of butterfly with a transfer or two thrown in for good measure!!

I would've said back of the hand:

but then I went here looking for lessons. Suddenly the CJers I know seemed to make a whole lot more sense!

before that I thought a cradle was

a) something a baby sleeps in

b)some sort of yoyo move (not sure about that one)

Do you want start posting some funky moves?!! I've just started CJ this week, but I'm practicing lots

Getting to the other side

Cool

Love is the law.

cradle is used instead of 'back of the hand' because there is more than one way to hold on the back of the hand - how many fingers are you using and how far back on your fingers does the ball sit?

for example, i'm learning the outside transfer bit of 'the cage' (the cage, for those that don't know, is a trick in which all your fingertips are touching and your hands describe a 'cage' that the ball rolls over and through).

loves the circus suggested that i learn a move called 'the prayer' first which will help loads with learning how to transferring the weight from back of hand to back of hand smoothly.
the actual holds in these two moves however are very different - one uses a cradle to hold the ball on the back of the hand and the other uses a fork.

a spade is a spade.

but a spade is not a shovel, although they do look very similar

thanks for that... I'm still working on what I think is the one handed butterfly (left hand is a bit shoddy)... although I can roll it round my body about 1 time in 6
