I've decided to run away and join the circus. Who's with me?

Geese?!?! I think you're definitely circus material! You'll have to teach me how to do that!

We-ell, actually, that might have been a slight exaggeration of my abilities in addition to a reference to Firefly. I'm sure I can juggle stuffed animal geese, though. That'll work, won't it?

geese are visicous little things.... I'm still working on trying to juggle 4 balls. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that I'll just never get it.

Heck, I'm still working on four. I can't do a single four ball trick yet, but my basic juggle is getting steadier. I've been working mostly on clubs lately instead of balls anyway though.

Now, out of curiousity, did you really mean three balls? Or four? I don't think I knew you knew how to juggle at all, so if you meant four, that's awesome! If you did mean three, keep at it. See, the trick is to not worry about catching. Seriously. Let them fall. The throwing is the hard and important part. The catching will just come with time. Honestly, it will. Think about throwing, not catching, and you might find you improve more quickly. It's good to juggle over a bed or somewhere where you don't have to lean down so far to pick them up too. And music can be helpful for a steady rhythm. I learned to juggle to Great Big Sea's "The Old Black Rum".

No I really meant four. I can juggle pretty much three of anything if they're reasonably the same weight/size, although I've never tried clubs before. I used to have these really cool bouncy juggling balls which were fun to play with because you could bounce them off things while juggling them.

I will keep at trying to get down the four balls, eventually I'm sure it'll come. Sadly I don't have a lot of free time to devote to it at the moment so it may be a while.
