So who here juggles?
Balls: 4, Clubs: 3 (gingerly - as I don't own any so it is rare I get to try), Diablo: 1, Devilstick: 1, Spinning plates
Style: Trickster - fave tricks 'Mills Mess' & 'Georgian Shuffle'
I'm hoping to pick up a fire devilstick soon, this is my favourite one at the moment.
🙂
Balls: 5 for about 30 seconds, never been able to recreate it. 4 if I'm practiced.
Clubs: 3, that's all i have.
Favourite trick: A variation on Mills Mess which I made myself called Liam's Leaping Llamas, involves a dummy switch and hand reflection (terminology?). Also enjoy catching on the back of the neck and flicking back into a rainbow cross, although I only pull it off once in a blue moon. Hmm, I should start doing this again.
Originally posted by JusuhYeah, with 3 balls can do one or two tricks such as (can't remember the names anymore) chucking them up really high (flash maybe?), snatching them out of the air, under leg, parallel balls. That's about it.
three balls is easy and with 3 balls i can perform even some cool combos/tricks (like throwing under my leg etc.)
I tried but failed to learn with 4 balls.
4 balls, 4 rings, 3 clubs. The best I have managed with 5 balls was to throw them all twice, and maybe even end up with one or two balls in my hands, but that's only when I am very lucky... 😕 I used to be able to do quite a lot of tricks with three balls, but lately I haven't been practicing at all, and it would take some serious practice to be able to do them all properly again. My all-time favourite is the "machine man" (I am not sure if that's what it is called in English, it's "Maschinenmann" in German). I also like the "waltz". And I like to juggle downwards with bouncing balls, but that's very noisy, so I can only practice that when my neighbours are away. 😉
Originally posted by StarrmanI used to be pretty good at catching the ball on the back of the neck, but I never quite got the hang of the flicking-back part. 🙁

I have no idea what "Mills Mess", a "dummy switch", "hand reflection" and "rainbow cross" are...
