Sigh I've just seen a vid on YouTube of a 7 year old who can juggle 5 balls, with steals and a few tricks.

My grandaughter,aged three,wants to juggle like me. I'll try and describe it. She throws the balls into the air and lets them fall,and then flings her arms out for the applause. I must get it on video. Have you got the YouTube link handy?

Eww! I was watching,on TV, a man roll glass balls up his arms,neck and torso. It was amazing
Ah, contact juggling. I've not had much luck finding really impressive stuff for it on YouTube, though of course there's Bowie's bit from the movies, and stuff by the person whose hands it really was, Michael Moschen. If you search YouTube for "contact juggling", a couple of interesting ones are "Beans" and "JCJC" - they really make it look like the ball is floating. There are instructional vids too if you want to try it, but they use acrylic balls which are heavier and a bit smaller than normal juggling balls.

It really is so funny. We've bought one of those oval balls on strings where you pull the handles apart and she thinks she's very clever doing it!
