Wow! Cool! Thank you!

It's not that we don't love juggling -- we do! It's just that most of us aren't coordinated enough to do it!

Oh, yeah, I can juggle -- one ball at a time!

I am learning to juggle. Just curious are there any girl clowns out there who Juggle? I think a juggling thread/section is a great idea. I can juggle three balls one rotation and catch all of them most of the time. As I said I am just learning, but I'm proud of me for getting this far. I consider myself to be one of the most uncoordinated persons on the planet. So I'm real happy with my progress so far.

Sounds like a good idea too me!

I love juggling. I am still figuring out funny ideas for it, but the ego building from doing a trick well and increasing my skill keeps side tracking me.

My problem with juggling is progression. I can juggle a couple of different three ball patterns, and I can do a cascade with clubs. I just don't know where to go from there. I can transition easy enough from pattern to pattern, but I have difficulty learning new patterns and being able to transition into them.

I agree with noname, though, the real hard part is being clowny while juggling. Most kids expect you to juggle, so being entertaining while juggling is the trick.

I think Juggling is a big clown asset, I generally use Poi - I know it's not as skillful as ball juggling but I like it visually.

That is actually the only thing I don't know how to juggle. I never even tried it or would even know where to begin, though I could see that being made funny, somehow.

Hehe yeah it’s easy to make it funny if you trip over the poi and fall into a cream pie you left on the ground or some such.

I will try to take a video clip of me with some poi if anyone is interested!
