Default Best juggling trick

I have been juggling for about ten years and have found three tricks that are my favorite as well as being groaners from the adults in the audience.

1. The first one can be done with any type of props and is a great follow up to under the leg. However, if you are unable to do under the leg it will work as a substitute for under the leg. The trick is... Over the leg!! Basically bring your leg up to about 90 degrees and do your juggling over your leg, people go wild.

2. We, or at least I, call this trick the Narwhal, you can also call it the unicorn. Basically take a juggling club, hold it to your forehead and say " Look, I'm a Narwahl" It is classic.

3. Lastly, the Pirate. Stand on one leg with your knee pointing down, put the knob of the juggling club under you knee and lean on it slightly a la peg leg. Then tell all your favorite pirate jokes.
a. Did you hear about the new pirate movie? Its rated ARRGH!
b. How much did the pirate pay for his ear rings? A Buccuneer!

Enjoy!!

To add some more:
-Put 2 jugglingclubs with the knob near your ears up in the sky and make a bunnyface. "Whats up doc". Also gives a good laughter.
- With balls you can make a nice break by putting one ball in your mouth and the other two you keep them in front of your eyes. Then go around and "look" at all of your audience. Children find it hilarious

People always want you to do magic tricks with balls. Here 3 of my "none" magical ball tricks:
- have one ball low in your hand keep your other hand above the ball acting as if you hold a tread towards the ball. Get the people to focus one your top hand and throw the ball with as less movement as possible towards the top hand. It's silly, it's no magic but done proparly it looks good.
- Do a yo-yo and tell the audience the balls are suddenly magnetic.
- Do a backcatch and act as if suddenly a ball is magicly missing.
