Some cool tricks in Prox Box Chronicles #9 (thanks to Kyle for the edit!). Table Juggling Ftw. nice diabolo stuff.

Everything about this is amazing and overwhelming. the group tutting sequences are just unreal. Words cannot express enough appreciation for Genki Sudo and World Order.

い ま日本で起きている地震、津波、原発という前代未聞の震災は今後、どのようにでも変わると思います。そこで僕なりにメッセージを届けようとWORLD　 ORDERで表現しました。この災害は文明の転換点となるものだと捉えています。世界の人々が現状の社会、経済、政治のシステムに対して地球と共存する変 革の時期が来たと

­思います。出来事と言うのは中立です。この深い闇の中をさまよう僕らですが一人一人が恐れを手放し前向きに事と向かい合えばどんなことでも乗り越えられると信じています。­世界は変わりません。僕ら一人一人が変わるのです。そうすれば世界が変わります。夜明け前の夜は一番暗いもの。人類にとって本当の輝かしい朝を迎えるためにみんなで立ち上­がりましょう。　WE ARE ALL ONE

Many disasters are ongoing in Japan; earthquakes, Tsunami, and nuclear accidents. These unprecedented things may be able to change however from now. That’s why I expressed through World Order to convey some message to you on my own way. I see these accidents will become a turning point of civilization. I think the time of revolution is coming, where people in the world coexist with this planet against the system of modern society, economy and politics.
Any accident is neutral. Although we are straying around this deep darkness, I believe we can get through anything when each of us can let go of our fear and face things positively.
The world won’t change on its own. We do change one by one. That makes the world change. The darkness just before the dawn is deepest. So, we do rise up together to greet the brilliant morning truly coming for the human beings.
WE ARE ALL ONE

These 2 quad rotors can juggle 1 ball while flying. These robots will learn to juggle 3 balls before you learn to fly.

Partner poi training video from the wonderful Loooop. Very nice folk, who have a cute act involving underpants, well worth seeing live if you get a chance.
We must have watched this about 20 times now, it definitely deserves a wider audience.
Thank you, François, Hanna, Tina & Thomas.

No video here, I apologise, but I have a dream.

I really cannot begin to express the magnitude at which teaching Movement and Contact juggling is enriching My life, and by doing so enriching further the lives of others right now.

It’s amazing. It feels FANTASTIC, and I want more. Watching ripples of inspiration pass from person to person is an amazing process to watch, and it’s exciting me so much to see where Illusion Based Contact is heading right now.

So, I want more. LOTS more. I want to teach the Fractal Method (TM) to as many people as possible, and install warp drives (TM) in people’s minds, show people the wonderful things I see around me all the time, and see what is spawned as my visions are fused with someone else’s. I do have a sinister motive behind this, however, and that motive is that I am bored, and want people to play with. EVERYWHERE. as is the Nature of Fractals, I also learn a huge amount every time I teach this method, so by allowing me to teach you, you will be teaching me.

I call it [/There Is No Crew]. think ‘There is no spoon’. that’s how I see the possibilities of this mission, and f**k am I looking forward to the challenge. A crew is a tight net bunch of people, who know each other. they don’t need to speak to communicate and understand each other perfectly. they just know each other that well. they just know. they bounce off each other. they got each other’s back. they play together. they learn together. they are a pack. They are as a general rule limited to being in the same place, and so limited in size. f**k that, I say. scale doesn’t matter any more, it’s all the same thing, just bigger. and everyone knows bigger is better, right? (I learned one from the americans )

So let’s do it. Let’s bounce. Me and You. Let’s come together and make a global manipulation Crew. Let’s blow up the current scene and make it new, refreshing, and exciting through and through. Let’s end the divides and build bridges anew. But I need your help with this project too. Let’s end this thought that There is no Crew.

I have masterclass workshops to give on Illusion concepts such as Time, Space, Gravity, Energy, Sound, Language/Communication and Mind over Matter, and how they affect Movement and Manipulation as a whole through the mathematical language of Fractals, Chaos, QED, special/general relativity and quantum theory, and just how damn easy it all is, and accessible to the complete beginner. I can teach alone, or I can teach alongside other people, to help make an event similar to the infamous Ministry Workshops we contact jugglers all know and love. I can teach one on one, at conventions, in circus schools, as a guest resident to improve the skillsets, awareness and in turn the learning abilities of your students all in one go. If they will learn, I will teach, simple as.

If you think you and the people in your area can handle a mind explosion of this magnitude (and judging by recent experience, that will happen), and you know of a space that will hold it. Tell me. Let’s Chat. We can make it happen. I will have you seeing the world as I do, as nothing more than a dance of forces, interacting with each other in a way that looks amazing to onlookers, and more importantly, FEELS great too. It’s true, contact jugglers do all eventually go mad.

Have Workshops. Will Travel.

Malte Steinmetz and Neils Seidel as Spot the Drop return to MoM blog, with this cute ball Juggling video, that definitely deserves a wider audience.
You can “like” Spot the Drop on Spambook and watch more on JTV.
Enjoy. Drew

Hands down, the most awesome action scene from any movie ever. I challenge you to come up with anything even close.

The Jamaica song from Futurama. Features a 3 object cascade as well as cigar box style manipulations.. and they actually animate it properly (rather than the silly/impossible circular shower pattern that normally is used whenever a cartoon needs to show someone juggling)!

I love this song, so frickin much…

Yod from www.ContactJuggling.org made this fairly epic montage of humans and animals balancing balls on their face. Perfect stuff for a friday on M.o.M.

Christmas is over, and 2010 is almost done with as well…

Time for one more fun video before new year’s eve.

Bugs Bunny inspires the tutting scene.

Dope!

Using UV materials and ‘kasou taishou’ esque visual illusions, Fighting Gravity rocked Americas got talent pretty hard this year. Here is a video compilation of all their appearances this season.
