  • 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…

    Learn to Juggle YouTube Videos

    I did that bounce off the knee trick yesterday, and I looked at a YouTube to get the gist of it. And then I remembered the JuggleGym YouTube site. Logan has a ton of juggling tricks and even has one with her and her dad doing tandem juggling together. Type in “dad” on the site.…

  • Bounce Ball Off the Knee Juggling Trick!

    Bounce Ball Off the Knee Juggling Trick!

    I had an audience (Sena) today for my new easy juggling trick, which is bouncing the ball off your knee. This trick was in my original booklet in the learning how to juggle kit, which I got 3 years ago. I never bothered to learn it. I looked it up on the internet and teachers…

  • Juggle Double Take!

    Juggle Double Take!

    I just noticed something this morning about my Fitness Test exercise video I made yesterday. In the juggle warm-up segment, if you just play it at normal speed it looks like one of the balls smacks my face. It’s when I do the second behind the back throw trick around 34 seconds in. I ran…

    Get Up & Move!

    On the calendar for Mental Health Month today is “Movement matters” so it’s all about getting off your duff and doing something physically active. It doesn’t have to be that strenuous and you can make it fun. For example, around 3 years or so ago, I picked up a set of juggling balls and taught…

  • My Balls Glow in the Dark!

    My Balls Glow in the Dark!

    Here’s another video on head stall juggling, this time using glow in the dark juggling balls. They’re heavier and I drop more often. On the other hand, when one hit the glass top coffee table, it didn’t leave a scratch! It did make a heck of a racket, though. I did switch off between left…

  • Head Stall Boogie!

    Head Stall Boogie!

    Remember that off the head juggle I was trying to learn way back over two years ago? The other name for it is the head stall and I could not get the hang of it. I watched video after video and the performers who could do it all did it the same way—which I could…
