Default Improving your juggling skill.

I love juggling!

I think is a fascinating skill that attracts children's and also parents attention and adds to our performance.

As a beginner jungler ( 4balls - 4 rings and just got the 5 - ball cascade flashes - I am so excited about that!!! ), I thought that it will be useful to post,some suggestions to resources that not only show juggling tricks but teach us also how to achieve the patterns.


Here are the pages I use to improve my juggling skills.

KingsCascade.com ------> Check THIS out! Very very good!Probably the best of the list!!!
Wildcat Jugglers - Tutorial
Ball Juggling
Juggling with balls
Juggling Instructions : Tricks, tips, videos, how to juggle tutorial

I 'm looking forward to reading your comments and suggestions too.

Wow, that King Cascade site is great! Thank you very much for that link! I am also learning how to juggle - I have only been doing it since my cruise 2 weeks ago... So I am only at the 3-ball cascade but I seem to have this down now - certainly well enough to use it for spectators - but I would like to learn more before I use any for the public only b/c I don't want to just have one style of juggling to perform... I think it looks better when you can switch things up!

Anyway, thanks again for the links! I am sure these sites will come in VERY handy!

Bump a nose!

After going through some of my YouTube favorites I went to Steven Ragatz's web site advertised at the end of one of my favorite juggling videos of his. I went to his videos page and was blown away by all the videos he has that I haven't seen. Some of them are surreal and they are all amazing. Something to aspire to! So here they are, enjoy!

I am not very much into bounce juggling cause I live in a flat and it 's difficult to bounce!

hey Lolly plop... try juggling silk scarves first... they fall slower and they help you learn the juggling patterns... once your used to that then try balls, rings, hats, pins, firey swords, and such....

Good Luck
