Sandy McClure is a staff spinner from the bristol based fire troupe; Chimaera. Sandy also maintains the spinning website Inspinerate.com, where you will find more spinning media. This is his entry into the competition that Brylcreem are currently running.
I love his relaxed spinning style, certainly looks effortless. Seeing this video reminds me; I must go and see him again soon…
A highly skilled fire/uv company based in Vienna. Find out more about them here: www.fenfire.at
In May 2007, I had the pleasure of working with them on their innovative new UV show; LUMOTEK UV-3000. This full-length UV performance was conceptualized as a machine; the pieces locking into place on stage and whirring, clicking and spinning in perfect mechanical harmony.

YouTube - Enrico Rastelli
7 minutes of Rastelli. Old old footage….in the opinion of many, still the greatest juggler who ever lived.
Juggling, Balance, bodyrolling, acro, twirling a stick on his feet and all kinds of manipulation.
Be jaw droppingly amazed. A predecessor of Brunn, Rastelli got SKILLZ. Rastelli sadly died in 1931, aged only 34. Info on Rastelli at Juggling hall of Fame.
This clips is thanks to Peter Bone, incredible high numbers juggler - 18 catches of 11 balls and a flash of 13 balls and he calls himself an Amateur! We should blog him too.
I did some editing work this winter for the Vancouver Circus School, and wanted to share one of my videos here on the Blog. This Kay Meeks video was taken from a corporate show that the performance group did, and it showcases a lot of their talent, notably:
Chris Murdoch - Contact Juggling and Fire Staff
Jake West - Diablo and Drumming
Nigel Wakita - Yo-yo
Hollie Neilson - 2001
OMG she’s super good.

Nico from Compagnie Lumen (Switzerland) mailed MoM to tell us of their new show.

The skill level is high, including the club juggling of Mariano a phenomenally smooth freestyle club juggler.
More Videos and photos on their site, including this cool, Contact Show which is my current candidate for a best online video to answer the question “What is Contact Juggling?”

Thanks to Dave Knox for the link.
Before MoM I had another video blog! well thats a bit of a grand term, its really just a thread on home of poi.
It now has links to over 400 (mostly juggling and manipulation) videos.
The original aim of that listing was to post the highest quality manipulation with an emphasis on staff and poi - well it is HOP.
But soon, it became, any high quality online manipulation videos.
Then it became any high quality online videos that I liked.
Now its decayed into a free for all, so now it seems everyone posts anything that slightly amused them.
and then they have mock arguments about it… Ahh bless, love them all to pieces.
If you want to kill some time, a lot of time and see some great videos, head over to HOP.
(Tip: for a long time I used 3 angel smilies so that it was easy to find my posts with video links while scrolling the thread.)
Short Review: Buy it.
Longer Review:
Buy it, it’s brilliant.
Lots of atmosphere, lots of high skills in both juggling and manipulation, lots of fun, lots of shows, lots of ideas, high quality filming, great editing and 4 hours long (2 disks). Totally raised our expectations of how good an event DVD can be, best EJC video ever. If you are into Juggling or Manipulation I recommend this for your Christmas wish list.
