  • Slash & Slam Ordinary Juggling

    Slash & Slam Ordinary Juggling

    Yesterday, I finally got the hang of a couple of new juggling patterns: the orbit and the weave. They don’t look like exactly like what the experts do when I do them, but that’s just my ordinary juggling. The orbit is just a column juggling pattern with two balls in one hand and just waving…

  • Anyone for Tennis 423, Juggle Style?

    Anyone for Tennis 423, Juggle Style?

    Well, for the last couple of days I’ve been working on my usual ordinary style of 423 juggling. I sort of learned how to play the tennis trick in 423. It’s different enough to learn from the usual tennis in the 3-ball cascade that I had to work pretty hard at it. I learned these…

  • Jim Juggles the 423 Pattern Ordinary Style!

    Jim Juggles the 423 Pattern Ordinary Style!

    So, I found this 423-juggling pattern on Logan’s Juggling Gym website. It’s classified as an easy pattern. I can buy that because I can do it—sort of. I can’t explain why the patterns in this category are called by the number “423” and maybe somebody could find out about it and get back to me.…

  • What’s Up with the Puffy Robin?

    What’s Up with the Puffy Robin?

    Sena got a video of a really puffy robin yesterday. It’s not obese, but it was puffing out its breast and spreading its wings out over the ground. It was a little mysterious. Some experts say that puffing up like this means its trying to keep warm. But it was around 80 degrees. Others say…

  • Working on That Georgian Shuffle Juggle!

    Working on That Georgian Shuffle Juggle!

    I’ve been practicing the Georgian Shuffle juggling trick lately because the way I do it makes me think of the sound of an old train. So, a couple of days ago, I worked on it and it didn’t take too long until it looked a little better. I’m not sure why jugglers call the pattern…

  • Ordinary Juggling Magic Bonanza

    Ordinary Juggling Magic Bonanza

    You’d better take a mild sedative before watching my latest YouTube juggling video. I bet you didn’t know I can do magic tricks! Of course, the truth is I can’t, but that kind of thing never stops me. I got the magic trick from Daniel Menendez (also known as JuggleMan), an amazing juggler who is…

  • Reblog of “Mighty Hawk”

    Reblog of “Mighty Hawk”

    Hey, this is a reblog of my post about the Red-tail hawk that couldn’t come up with a meal on this date in 2025. This season is different for the young hawks, though. We’ve seen them feasting on rabbits and mice!

  • Practicing the Flicking Multiplex Juggling Trick and the Return of the Claw!

    Practicing the Flicking Multiplex Juggling Trick and the Return of the Claw!

    Sena got me a couple of brand-new juggling tee shirts, which meant that I had to come up with a couple of new tricks to cause brand new joint injuries! I learned from Logan at Juggling Gym that the word “multiplex” doesn’t just mean a movie theater with multiple screens. A multiplex throw is “where…

  • Jim Does The Georgian Shuffle Juggle!

    Jim Does The Georgian Shuffle Juggle!

    I’m working on a new juggling trick called the Georgian Shuffle. I learned it from Juggle Gym. It didn’t take too long to sort of get the hang of it although I’m pretty slow yet. It’s fun to do and I may smooth it out after a while. Sena likes the claw throw, which is…

  • Juggle Boxer!

    Juggle Boxer!

    Got another juggling video coming at you! I found these tricks on Juggling Gym. They didn’t take long to learn. The demo shows punching the ball with one hand only. So, I tried to make it look sort of like boxing by using both hands. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee—and fall like…
