Resources about Juggling

Video Transcript

"Alright everybody, so let me give you some informational resources on juggling that have helped me over the years. These bean bags came with a book called "Juggling for the Complete Clutz" by John Cassidy and B.C. Rimbeaux. My copy of the book is so beaten up I can't even show it to you on video because I've used it so much, but it comes with three of these bean bags, you can get it at any book store, it's one of the best books on juggling you can get, and I want to show you a couple others. This is "The Joy of Juggling" by Dave Finnigan, you should be able to still find that, that's still available, great basic resource. This book here, "The Complete Juggler", this is available in both hardcover and you can still find some paperback editions available. This book has so many ideas in it for juggling I don't think there's a person alive that can do all of them, but if you can, you'll be one of the world's greatest jugglers. One of my favorite books on ball juggling is Charlie Dancey's "Encyclopedia of Ball Juggling". It has all kinds of three ball tricks and tips and ideas, it has all kinds of four and five ball tricks. It evens talks about something called site swap notation, a really cool way of writing down juggling patterns on paper and designing juggling patterns. Dave Finnigan also wrote this book, "Juggling From Start to Star", those are his kids there that he wrote it with, and Dave Finnigan is one of the nation's foremost teachers of juggling, definitely look up his stuff, he's a nice guy too. And this is by Ken Benge, "The Art Of Juggling", another really good complete book on the juggling arts. But definitely check out some of the online juggling suppliers, see what they have, a lot of DVD's and videos are available, a lot of books. Explore and expand your juggling knowledge, stick with it, have fun, practice hard, and don't get discouraged!"
