October 9th was ‘Contact Juggling Awareness Day’, with contact jugglers taking to the streets all over the world to perform, teach and inspire others. I shot some new tricks and made a video, here you go.
From Youtube:
Two pairie-boy contact jugglers reunite in Vancouver to produce their obligatory first contact juggling video; complete with experimental isolations, weird body rolling, multiball, bloopers and… Wildlife!
Lovely stuff from the west coast of Canada. I think next time they invite me out for a day of shooting video, I’ll join them (instead of sitting on my computer all day)
120mm Acrylics are HUGE!!
Cubes can be rotated!!!
My favorite parts are when Kyle stands up tall and proud (and when he smiles). The contact juggling is, as usual, mostly impossible 
I’ve watched this at least 10 times, and I’m still applauding loudly at my screen.
Five and a half years after starting MoM, we have; 1 book, 2 weddings, several MoM workshops, and over 1 000 000 unique visitors (according to our stats counter).
And this is MoM’s 1000th blog post.
Phew.
Thanks for reading, and here’s to the next 5 years.

Video made by Luminous Fractal (how cool is that. He should have been on stage!!)
Good stuff all around, some great manipulators on stage in this teaser clip from the 2010 Madskillz Gala show.
This Delta Robot by Mimixmotion constructs a 3 layer pyramid and completes the routine with some 2 ball “spin-spin” flowers.
Multiball contact jugglers can soon to retire, while skynet takes over the world of manipulation.
Gotta love your Friday morning robot pR0n!

It was just earlier today that I managed to spin a flat 4in1hand with 3″ balls, and i was feeling pretty good about myself for about 4 hours until i stumbled across this great clip from Japanese youtube user Ysthr
His one ball routine is super-tight with loads of good concepts; well worth checking it out.
Truly unreal isolations, multiball, waving/strobing/popping… Nico has been working the streets of London hard and is heading into new levels of awesome.
Everybody’s favorite Ministry manipulator (its ok, I don’t take it personally) ED!! is back after far too long away from the camera. Prepare to have an internal-eye orgasm, as his combination of wavedance and contact juggling makes for some magic moments. Thank you very much to Ed’s flat-mate for spending the time to make a film project out of him. MOAR!!! I demand it!
Contact juggling of all shapes and styles; this is the first annual collaboration video from the users of www.contactjuggling.org !
