Question about Juggling

[noname]

I know I am the new guy here and really should not be making suggestions already, but I am surprised to see that there is no juggling section. As a clown that is my greatest asset, I do a lot of juggling, and have made up countless skits involving three balls an inept clown.

Is there one and am I missing it, or is there not one at all?

thanks

There are some individual threads on the topic of juggling, but no specific juggling subforum. I suppose it would fit in the "variety" section.

I was actually looking for it under the children's section. I saw magic, balloons, and face painting and wondered where the section on juggling was. I guess it is not as popular as I had thought...hmmm.

Congratulations, you are now officially ordained to add a few juggling skits, to the forum. This position includes honors and privileges yet to be determined by her Royal Highness; The Princess of Bozonia. Ruler of the whole of the Kingdom of Bozonia, Queen of the Realm,Defender of the Ice Cream, and of Course, the designated driver. (Her shoes are smaller than ours)

Arise, and wipe off your shirt. You're dripping all over the place!

Seriously, I think it is a great idea! Princess, your thoughts please?

Every single one of my shows contains more than one juggling skit, and those are the ones that get a lot of applause. I recently did one with Apples, taking a bite out of one during the same part in a song or juggling hankies after wiping the "apple juice" off my mouth. I have also done some comedy ones with mixing two bounce juggling balls and one bean ball, makes for some interesting and funny skits...I could keep going on, but yea I think they should have something with regard to juggling

Chalk one up for the new guy! Good call.

I think that part of the challenge is that it is a bit difficult to talk about juggling. It is one of those things that just needs to be seen or experienced in order to fully communicate.

And I have the bruises to prove it!

If that were true, there would not be any juggling forums

Besides, it is not necessarily about juggling, but how to make juggling part of your clowning. I do this one thing where I don't juggle until towards the end, the kids are so impressed you can actually juggle they applaud, especially after all the "difficulties" I had in trying to get three balls in the air. This is a clown forum and just like the magic forum, it is more about making it an "accessory" to your clowning, another facet that can open doors for new ideas and routines, rather than "take this ball, throw it in the air, then this one, when that one peaks, etc.

Just my .02

Ask and ye shall receive! Actually I've considered adding one before, but that was earlier in the life of the forum; it's not a good idea to expand forums too quickly.

Now go be fruitful and multiply the posts.
