  • Watch Out for Fake Columns Juggling!

    Watch Out for Fake Columns Juggling!

    Hey, I just found out that September is Aging Awareness Month. No wonder I’m bad at juggling columns! I’m just unaware that I should have started juggling way before retirement a few years ago. There’s no getting around it—I need to practice columns if I’m going to juggle fake columns. It looks really cool when…

  • Drop Kicking the Juggling Balls!

    Drop Kicking the Juggling Balls!

    I’m practicing bouncing the juggling balls off my body, this time my foot. You start by juggling the 3-ball cascade, and drop kick one of the balls off the side or the front of your foot. This doesn’t work well at all unless I wear shoes. And even then, it’s not easy. I can sort…

  • Neck Catch and Other Ordinary Juggling

    Neck Catch and Other Ordinary Juggling

    I’ve got some easy juggling tricks that I cobbled together in a YouTube video and boy is it ordinary. Tricks like under the arm and a simple two ball multiplex aren’t that hard to do with a little practice. But the neck catch is nothing but luck unless you got a neck the size of…

  • Neck Catch Juggle Trick Coming Up!

    Neck Catch Juggle Trick Coming Up!

    Can you guess what I’m doing in the picture? It’s the neck catch juggle trick, which I swore I’d never be able to do. I’m planning a new juggling video with new, so-called easy juggling tricks, ordinary style. I’ve been avoiding the neck catch trick because, well, I figured it would be a pain in…

  • Update On My Juggling the Shower Pattern!

    Update On My Juggling the Shower Pattern!

    I’ve been working on that shower juggling pattern for a number of years now, off and on. Here just lately I think I’ve been making minor improvements. I can do more throws and on a good day, I can do 10—sort of. It’s more ordinary juggling! I’ve picked up bits and pieces of wisdom and…

  • 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.…

  • 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…

  • 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…
