Olympic Champions RG Ball

Monday, February 26th, 20074 ball chestroll?
Technical toss and contact juggling skills combines with serious funk style from Komei Aoki. The boy busts out strobed 3-ball tuts and a 4 ball chestroll; I’m well impressed.
Ken Nishimura from rec.juggling drops us a few more links to variations and concepts from this 3 ball style.

More Japanese Popping/Contact
Saturday, February 24th, 2007Man… if i was Japanese i’d totally be this dude.
See?
Can anyone translate that last interview for us? Its really interesting to see all this stuff coming out of Japan; i think they are on the same kick as some of us; mixing popping/tutting/liquid/waving techniques with circus. There’s more to come on the blog; i’ve built a good collection of links now.
Michael Moschen on L.A. Law!!!
Saturday, February 24th, 2007Friday Fun once again.. this is a ridiculous find.
That’s right. The father of modern manipulation has had a few gigs as a TV actor. He appeared on one episode of L.A. Law (US Crime/Drama)
I dug up a description of the 1994 episode on TVGuide.com
Episode Detail: McKenzie, Brackman, Barnum and Bailey – L.A. Law
A ballerina (Gelsey Kirkland) sues a dance company for breach of contract; an aging juggler accuses his protégé (Michael Moschen) of stealing his act; and Benny dances around a commitment to Rosalie (Kathleen Wilhoite). Alex: Roy Dotrice. Uhler: Carl Carlsson.
Is there anyone “1337″ enough to be able to dig up this episode? Surely you uber torrent seekers will be able to dig it up, no?

Cardini Billiard Ball Manipulation
Tuesday, February 20th, 2007
Cardini on Youtube
The famous billiard ball manipulation routine from the magician Cardini in the mid-20th Century. It’s a lovely routine with Cards and cigarettes, but the real important bit is from 5:00 to 5:55min for billiard ball manipulation, including a cradle.
Sorry about the quality of the clip, I hope the quality of the character/performance makes up for it.
The clip has been floating around for a long while, I recently dug it up again as part of a “history of Ball Contact & Manipulation” article I’ve been writing…Coming soon.
Cheating at Dice

Phwoaaaar, that’s Manipulation skills.
Jiggaboo Jones has been cheating at Dice for twenty years …. it is easy to see why he has been thrown out of Casinos and nearly killed in backyard Gambling locations.
I’m not going to link to his site, because he really has a gangster thing going on, and likes guns a bit too much for my taste.
Poi on the Patio
Monday, February 19th, 2007
I like Poi.
But, it’s hard to find videos are go beyond spinning the same tricks as every other video, over and over. But, they do exist.
In this Video, Paul ‘Durbs’ Durbin shows us many advanced patterns, polyrhythm timing, and cool effects you can get with adding in pendulum swings in various places… there’s even some contact poi in there as well.
Durbs also shows us nice ways of mixing Glides with Poi spinning. This video is well worth a watch. however, for you die hard Contact and popping fans (Ryan
) it’s about five minutes of Spinning (Paul knows a lot of Spinning) with zero contact juggling. I like this video.
Paul is part of Burnt Toast, a group of fire performers based in Guildford.
