What a lot of balls!
kinboshi:
Hopefully you do better with this than Scottish goalkeepers - who traditionally struggle with one ball.
I think you need to be outside (or in a room with a very high ceiling) to move on to 5 balls. 3 is easy, but you will need a lot of height for 5 balls - and a normal ceiling might be too low?
Great idea though. I"ll donate something to charity if you can do this. Success should be 10 catches+, verified by three independent judges, and I"ll be Norris McWhirter.
Anyway, in the meantime, you can sponsor me for my marathon. Thanks ;)

Some idle meandering on the riveting topic that is Juggling......
Two truths about juggling
1. Throwing is more important than catching. If you"re good at throwing, the catching takes care of itself. Emergency response is overrated compared to emergency avoidance.
2. Juggling is about dropping. The entire magic of witnessing a juggler has to do with the risk of something being dropped. If there is no risk of dropping, juggling is actually sort of boring. Perfection is overrated, particularly if it keeps you from trying things that are interesting.
Hence the tricky part--you want to ship in a way that (as much as you can) avoids failure, but when failure comes, moving forward is more effective than panic or blame.

Major breakthrough yesterday. Did a 4-ball asynchronous crossing flash for the first time. This is number 13 on my plan but I haven"t mastered 1-12 yet!
Thinking about doing impersonations of APAT"ers juggling for charity on video here. Need to investigate one of these online donation thingy"s first.

You could just stand there in front of the camera, perfectly still, with no balls to juggle. Just say to the camera "Juggling coming soon" - that would be a good impression of someone...

Hmmm. I need more than just "risk of dropping" to make juggling anything other than boring. Unless Stu is on fire, on a greased highwire above the tables at an APAT tournament juggling 4 chainsaws and a live pig ..... i"m out.
