Yowsa! This was the first guy I ever saw do Fei-Cha in an old Internet Video called “Janitors”. In the interim he appears to have gone to Circus School in Montreal and has gotten some pretty sweet tricks nailed in his act. He also does slick combined hat manipulation and has a cute goofy ending. Win.

i found this video via Lewie Wests’ favourates. Why isn’t he a blogger yet anyway?

Eloi Prieur – Porte à Porte – Box manipulation

Drew mentioned this in a link from years ago, but I think it deserves it’s own post (since i can probably account for about a thousand of it’s current 2,800 views.)

Nowhere on the internet have I even seen such an amazing approach to box manipulation, such a radical difference from the normal style of this rare juggling prop. Eloi did some good research; he is pulling ideas from tonnes of other juggling disciplines and creating his own unique set of rules for manipulation.

High five to the box jugglers out there!

Addicted to Ball in the head!

Hello people.
I’m trying to spread on the Internet… the production of videos involving the Cucuruto, the stall point on the top of head.
Which I think is the evolution of balance, by independent of vision and develop the touch and proprioception.
This is very popular in Brazil and in Latin America, but I do not see the rest of the world so interested. And I think the ministry of manipulation is the most influential Internet website to spread the activism of this idea of balance. Can you help?

Yes we can, and we love this video :D Thanks
Great music, what is it?

In other bad news, MoM got hacked for the 2nd time, sorry for all the (hidden) links to porn sites – now deleted. We’re trying to deal with it. Drew
