After the silly robot intro, LCD launches into a wicked display of contact juggling isolations. To quote Su-nami from www.contactjuggling.org

How is it when you Isolate an acrylic it looks like an incredibly intricate dance form and when i isolate an acrylic it looks like, well, someone isolating an acrylic?

LCD (aka Liquid Crystal Display aka ‘elsie-dee’ aka Nika aka Nick) and Matt Hennem have been obsessing for a decade now about the fine details of moving a ball from point ‘A’ to point ‘B.’

Nimi and Dimitar crystal balls session in Barcelona, February 2010. This video is receiving high praise over on .org

Dimitar just popped in to post it on Suggest a link.

Hola, chicos! Saludos de Barcelona.
This is a short video we filmed with Nimi here last month with 2 crystal balls:
Thank you for your page!
Hugs till we see each other around,

This is one of the most inspirational things I’ve seen in a long time, and one of the most beautiful contact juggling videos ever. I look forward to seeing it live. Wow, Thank you so much for sharing it Dimitar and Nimi. Smiles Drew

Hi everybody,
here it is a small video made quickly during the first Italian contact juggling convention. Nothing special technically, but very nice images and a very peaceful place to play in.
balls are 90mm.

thanks for watching

Masterful juggling from one of the best. I held my breath through most of this, and am without words to describe how deeply this inspires. It is a masterpiece of expressive juggling, with a constant play between the various emotional states and a huge depth and range of techniques. I’m feeling it; Stefan is awesome.

Bravo!!!! and a standing ovation for bringing this to youtube in 1080p.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

extracts from my performance at the festival “feux d’hiver” in calais (31.12.09)…. music from the album “rossz csillag allat született” by venetian snares … www.stefansing.com

Two friends of mine went to Kiev to train juggling with the crazy kids there. I talked to one of them (Petter) the other day and he said that they would be posting a video of some stuff they had been doing there along with some of what the ukranian guys are working on.

HOLY SHIT! I got so excited watching this! I’m not going to spoil the surprises for you but it’s an amazing video with incredible  technique and super new one ball and three ring work by the swedish representatives.

Make sure you check out Petters other video and subscribe to his account. He’s one of the coolest smartest jugglers I know and for sure someone to keep an eye on if you like awesome things.

Some pretty sweet new shenanigans with ball contact on other props. I like it.

The title is descriptive enough. Ball size: 2.25″

Sa is an italian poi manipulator. He’s 20 and started his juggling path all alone only 3 years ago; after meeting Ronan he has decided to study and find new poi and contact manipulation forms. He lives in Milan.

This is his youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Santiagopoi

Glad to see more researchers with poi.

A new infomercial marketing campaign in the U.S. threatens to rebrand contact juggling into…. Fushigi?

Lovely editing, camera work, manipulations… You really feel as if you can get to know Moon in this video as he shows how calm and methodical he is. Nice to have such a well made manipulation video with a personality.

Stunning work. More videos like this please!

Oh yeah, I have to not make jokes about big balls. Ok, so this is a girl doing three of those large gym balls, the squishy ones, that you supposedly use to build up your core strength, but you actually just roll around on. This I assume Russian Ukrainian, has made a whole act out of rolling around on them, in a graceful way. There’s also some ball spinning, behind the head rolls, antipodism, and acrobatics with the big balls.

It’s always nice to see new props being used with innovative manipulation.
