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:
https://www.ministryofmanipulation.com/shop.php
And the book will be ready for delivery on Friday
Best wishes
Clare

Thats disgusting Mech.
I doubt Drew is into that sort of thing.
Then again, it might be worth asking him

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.)
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: https://ministryofmanipulation.com/blog/multiball-contact-our-first-review/
Anyway, it's finally done
what next?

(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.)

I didn't complain... merely suggested
And I did ask first ... kindof
Congrats darlin... early signs appear really promising...
And a fantastic review!
Are you happy?!
Next project: Single ball contact... obvious, ain't it?!
Sure, it'll only be another two years work... that's what credit cards are for (
)
