Juggling

[Ollie]

Ok, so it's not exactly an extreme sport, but i'm attempting to learn it at the moment...

Anyone here able to juggle? If so, have you got any tips for someone with hand-eye co-ordination on par with that of a handicapped fish?

I used to be able to juggle, but was pretty rubbish at it. If I remember rightly, the trick is to try to make a McDonalds-style curvy "M" with the balls. The best thing to do is to find someone who's very good & get them to help you.

practice for an hour and a half with no interuptions, every day for 3 and a half months.
if after this period you still are unable to juggle, it's time for you to take up knitting and embroidery.......
good luck!!

ps. the curvy "m" will not help you. try making small tight and controlled movements. it's all in the elbows!!

I love juggling!!
have a friend he's great, lives in ibiza and juggles chainsaws and odd stuff. he started off by juggling with fire sticks. maybe something to think on......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d36bkXuVoYM (this isn't him I'm afraid)

i doubt he started off by juggling fire sticks! unless he got very good very quickly!

- is there a circus society at your uni?
