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 :P 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 4)
  • 4 rings (can do 3, know how to do 4)
  • 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.
