if you can find someone you know that knows how to juggle and try to get them to have you use your non dominant hand and they use the opposite hand for some side by side juggling i have had some real good success teaching that way
and finnally make it to the spring fling for my juggling workshop lol

There are numerous threads about juggling and many of them have helps along with links to favorite websites and even video clips to help people learn. It looks like you posted this in the right section, now it is merely a matter of reading the other threads.

Another option is attending the Clown Forum Spring Fling March 24th - 27th in South Bend, IN. There will be a class or two on juggling and hours of workshops as people work together on all types of juggling.

This is great help. I'm guessing I shouldn't start with chainsaws!

Why not? If you can successfully handle chainsaws, all else will come easy!

But if I can't... I would have to be Stubs the Clown.

I went from balls, to rings, to clubs, Now I'm going to try bounce juggling, and eventually cigar boxes.

If you are starting with balls first, try bean bags or something that doesn't roll very far when you drop them... This will save you a lot of leg work

Great suggestion. BTW, cigar boxes? Don't those come with a warning on the side of the boxes!

Also practice on your knees, it is not so different from standing up and you have to bend over less when you drop. Remember juggling is just dropping with style.

i like to practice over a bed or table, as opposed to on the knees.

I recently decided to upgrade my juggling skills from three to five balls. Since I haven't attempted to learn a new skill like this for 15 years I thought I would share some insights of learning to juggle that I picked up.

1) Visualize- When ever I hear someone talk about visualizing I would giggle, roll my eyes and not visualize. My decision to learn 5 came to me as I was driving to work one day, when bam I was able to see myself juggling five and see the timing. When I arrived at work I was able to do 5 throws and catches with five on my first try.

2) Breaks- It had been 3 years since I last attempted five balls. During this time I focused most of my energy on becoming a better 3 ball juggler. This allowed me to become even more comfortable with juggling in general.

3) Fun- If you aren't having fun learning to juggle, you aren't going to enjoy juggling. Take a break (see #2) from what you are working on and come back when you are ready to have fun.

Well, good luck to all of the jugglers on the forum and if you don't know how, learn, juggling is awesome!!
