Juggling

Two or three people was juggling at the big lawn in front of the college I went to. I had nothing to do, so I went over to look at them. Then one of them asked me if I wanted to learn.

I, of course, said like everyone else that, yeah right, like I would ever be able to do that. But he said that he could show me how, and guaranteed that I would know how to juggle after 15 minutes. I didn’t believe him that much of course, but it would be cool to know how to juggle, so I gave it a shot. He gave me three balls, showed me how it worked, And then I started to try. First with two, then with all three. After 15 minutes, well, I couldn’t juggle any good at all, but I knew how to! It felt doable.

I tried for the rest of the evening, and then borrowed three balls from the guy, and started to practice in my room as well. Since then I have been more or less hooked. Only problem is that I wish I had more time to practice…

What I can do

I am not very great at any of these. My skills are kind of… spread out I am very curious to how things work, so when I see something new, I kind of want to figure out how to do that as well. Anyways, here is what I currently own, and know how to operate to some level:

• 6 balls (can do 3, know how to do 4)
• 6 clubs (can do 3, know how to do 3)
• 4 rings (can do 3, know how to do 3)
• 3 juggling cloths
• 3 fire balls
• 3 torches
• 4 diabolos (can do 2)
• 1 pair of sock poi
• 1 pair of tail poi
• 1 pair of fire poi

Why do I have 6 clubs when I can only do 3, et cetera? Well, when you juggle, people often want to try. And when you have more than 3, you can both juggle together

For those of you who have no idea what those things are, I have put together some images and some information about each of them.
