JointDemise (aka Ameron Rosvall from Sweden) shows off some of his latest research in club juggling / manipulation and modification!

We’ve been rather quiet about the European Juggling Convention this year because we’re sad not to be at our favorite juggling and manipulation festival. This year, it has a live stream , by Nathan Rae EJC live: Where the European Juggling Convention comes to you.
For me it’s generally stuttering too much to be watchable, pausing every 3 seconds to buffer But I’ll keep trying.
Last night featured Kelvin doing his thing with 1 and 2 acrylics in the open stage, which was amazing.

If there’s nothing live at the moment, there are a bunch of recorded highlights you can watch, my favorite is:

Be sure to stay to the end of the clip for a great ending!
[Edit: updated with Youtube link, cos ustream doesn't work so well: thanks Divus]

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.

Kyle Johnson made a new juggling video and it is packed with interesting stuff. Good juggling all around (as usual), I like the weirder 3 ball stuff for the conceptual value.

Nice juggling, Kyle!

Hi guys,

My year-long juggling film project has finally been released (on world juggling day) and I was wondering if perhaps you could feature it on your video blog?  I would be eternally grateful.  The film is a combination of traditional toss juggling and innovative non-traditional kinetic-based art.

I think it would greatly appeal to your audience of followers.

Thanks to James for Suggesting this Link!

It’s great to come home from an awesome first Madskillz Juggling Festival to a newly found video with great style and new ideas.

Around the time of the Firedrums Festival in Santa Cruz, California, The Vulcan in Oakland, California was flooded with visitors from all around the world. There were even more people at the Vulcan than seen in this video.  So you should watch for the next one —> here

For anyone who may think that Stefan Sing is made of anything less than the purest awesome, I present this video to prove you wrong.  Awesome may now be defined as “anything near the skill level of Stefan Sing.”

I’ve been told recently that I haven’t abused my position as a blogger to blog my friends enough. So never one to ignore criticism, I have decided to blog my friend Liam:
