I have apreciation of true technical juggling and contempt for those who preform acts based on minimal skill.
Any idea why you have contempt for those who's acts don't use high technical skill levels?
Basically, they are just people whose skills (and holding the attention of an audience and entertaining them is a skill that requires either great innate ability, or a lot of dedicated practice) are better suited to entertaining than technical juggling.
Like i said before, I'm not particularly interested in watching such shows, but I see not reason to critisise those performers who cater to the demand for them.

fire juggling clubs is a huge difference! A: you're practically blind to where the handle is most of the time, since the fire blinds your vision of it. b) the fire affects rotation and as the fuel burns down the weight of the club changes. c) you never juggle fire in good lighting conditions.
Normal club juggling is easy compared to fire, since you practise with EXACTLY the same props you use for performance. Never the case with fire toys, as fueling them up always changes their weight.

whatever These people do lack skill and can barely juggle at all for that matter. And I think you are in serious need of a dictionary for chanukah or christmas. You need to no what a hypocrite is and how to spell it hypocrite: a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he does not hold. And I never made any assumptions I just said that people confuse circus' and juggling which is 100% true. You have no Idea how many people tell me I should get a job in the circus or if I'm with the circus. and with bozo the clown you get the idea of a clown dressed in white makeup wearing big shoes and a red nose and maybe juggling alittle. I have apreciation of true technical juggling and contempt for those who preform acts based on minimal skill

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Or a simple goal that could solve one of your problems is to make yourself a tshirt that has on it " Not in the Circus, and never will be..." ;-)

answer to me personally I think people confuse the two and think everyone who juggles is either training to be in the circus looking for a job in the circus or is in the circus someone asked me that this summer I turned and walked away my highschool senior project is going to educate people on juggling circuses skill and those who prefore acts based upon minimal skill even if the audiance is one of them and I hope that they will obtain knowledge and appreciation for true technical juggling and not bnch all juggling into the same difficulty level as one bozo the clown

Damn Jon, you're on this late! It's 11am over here!
No, sheep shagging, sorry
Forgot to mention, Pre - Jason Garfield, your hero started off his juggling career as a hack juggler, and openly admits this. Just to let you know
Written by: UCOFof course he is. No-one else could possibly have such bad English skills. Or have such amazingly crap arguments.
Pre: are you an American teenager?

Jason Garfield has a career making money from juggling. He started off doing hack shows and stealing hack lines from other hack jugglers. He openly admits this one his website.
I have to correct you again young Pre - when Jason first competed in Denver 1988 IJA he could do 6 rings, 7balls and 5 clubs, not to
mention 3 cigar boxes. If you think you are more of a geek on juggling than I am, think again.
Oh, what is your definition of a hack juggler? I've met loads of hack jugglers, or people who do hack routines, and they are some of the best jugglers and performers I know.
Did you have any thoughts of yourself in response to my post or are you tongue tied?
Never assume
Always Acknowledge
