1. That is cool!

Glowing balls! :hi:

2. yes.

I completely lack the ability to juggle so I am always impressed by people who can. I met Penn Gillette over 30 years ago when he came into my dad's bookstore. We started talking and he juggled for me. Very cool. He juggled a large glass ashtray, a can and ??? maybe a book? All different weights, shapes, sizes. It was pretty special. I can't imagine having the timing and coordination it took.

3. I can Teach ANYONE (yes, even you) to juggle in 15 minutes....

My special gift to the world I think. I have taught thousands of people to juggle. Little kids and grandmas, gang bangers and lawyers.

And different things is pretty easy. It is all gravity pretty much....

4. Learned it from "Juggling for Dummies" (hackeysack-like "balls" included).

.
The big secret/trick/revelation/wonderdrug was to start off
facing a wall as closely as you can and still juggle. The
beginner's tendency is to throw them away from you -- you
end up chasing them just before you drop them all. Against
a wall, all your "throw-forwards" gently carom back on track.
.
My girlfriend at the time I was learning wouldn't spend ANY
time at all in the grocery store with me because of all the
embarrassing produce "incidents".
.
NO, REALLY, HONEY!!! WATCH THIS!!!!

8. Steal this book!!!!!

.
Not really, just a chance for an Abby Hoffman reference.
.
But, this is the book I was talking about (not "...for Dummies", but
"...for the Complete Klutz" -- THAT caught my personal attention
immediately!!!).
.
I had tried off-and-on unsuccessfully for DECADES to learn to juggle...
and this book had me juggling in a couple of hours.
.
Our buses SUCK here in Tucson, but our library system is praiseworthy.

.
Maybe your library has it. Or used-book store (we also have an incredible
LOCAL chain of them -- "Bookman's"). Or Amazon, etc.
