Juggling too fast?

08.14.09

You are learning how to juggle 3 balls - brilliant idea - but the balls are flying everywhere. Some of us are impulsive with our throwing skills. Try slowing down the pace at which you throw each ball in the air. This will give you more time to control the direction of throw in a rainbow arc - just right for you to catch with the other hand. Refer to Step 5 of the Juggling Brain video for conscious control of the arc from the right and left hands - and get it right.

Juggling Ball Colours

03.08.09

Juggling balls When trying to juggle three balls you need colours  that catch your eye. Vibrant colours you can see easily and clearly. Bold colours such as red, green, blue, and orange are easily seen.  With single colours  you can spot and say the colour as you are learning to juggle.  Or if someone is teaching you, the teacher can say throw the red, then green, then gold ball in sequence. It is  better to have ball colour different from walls or ceiling if you are juggling inside. The juggling ball is easier to see and catch when it stands out from the wall colour. 

Have Fun !
