Juggling is a skill that involves the movement of objects, usually through the air, for entertainment. The most recognizable form of juggling is toss juggling, where the juggler throws objects through the air. The most common items juggled are balls, beanbags, rings, clubs, and bouncing balls. Some performers are more daring and use chainsaws, knives and fire torches. Juggling is a fun way to entertain crowds. In this free entertainment video series, let a juggling expert show you how to perform some fun juggling tricks. Watch as he shows you tricks like balancing a club, the chin roll, three ball shower, four ball shower and three club flats. Then you'll learn how to pick up dropped balls with your feet in the middle of juggling. Move on to harder tricks like juggling three balls in one hand, foot stall hack style, penguin and dolphin catches, confused juggling, Burke's barrage, five-three-one Mills mess, and chops with balls and clubs. Juggling is a great way to entertain a party or small gathering.
"In this series, I'm going to be introducing just a whole lot of random tricks for both balls, and for clubs. Now, tricks can vary a lot in difficulty. They can be anywhere from something pretty trivial that looks cool, to something that's really hard, and takes a significant amount of practice just to be able to pull off half the time. So I'm going to preface each video by just saying how hard it is, and what's hard about it before I actually show you the trick. So, if you're at a certain level, like immediate level a medium level with balls, you might only want to concentrate on the easier tricks, and leave the harder tricks for next month after you've practiced more, or something like that. I think we're going to go everything from three ball tricks, a few four ball tricks, quite a few three club tricks, and a few just random things in there as well. These are all a lot of fun. I really recommend learning them all; just mixing them up, putting them into a pattern. Putting them into a routine can be a lot of fun. And none of these require all too much practice. Like these are all things you can learn over the course of a week with a little bit of practice; or less, significantly less for a lot of them. We're just put the time in, and learn these tricks, and you can learn how to string them together and make a routine."
