How to Juggle Chainsaws

You have been juggling everything from bananas to devil sticks to brooms. You just can't get enough of tossing things. Juggling is fun. Especially as your skill improves, but hmmm, what else can you juggle? Sickles? Knives? How about that chainsaw? Read on to find out how.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Know how to juggle clubs. There are three juggling categories. Balls, disks and clubs. Anything long would be juggled just as you would a club. Of course, remember that a chainsaw is not exactly balanced for juggling so you'll have to take that into consideration.
2. Protect your hands. Never wear a ring. The ring can get caught on the chainsaw (this happens with clubs also or anything that slides forcefully into your hand). Catch the chainsaw in the soft part of your hand. Many club jugglers wear gloves. Leather biker's gloves with the fingers cut out is a good choice.
3. Keep it simple. Chainsaws are heavy and awkwardly balanced so don't go overboard with fancy tricks. Let them rotate in the air once and that is good enough. Simple physics won't let the saw rotate much more than that without tremendous force.
4. Toss the same way you would for juggling clubs. Hold the chainsaw firmly like you would a club and toss it up using the arm more than the wrist. Physics will take care of the spin.
5. Catch the chainsaw the same as you would for clubs. With its rotation, the butt end should fall into your hand.
6. Add the second chainsaw, tossing it up under the arc of the first one. And watch out for your toes. When you've got it down, find an audience and wow them with your skill.
